That's not what this says, either.
Old white people are scared out of their fucking minds at the thought of becoming a minority, or being treated like a minority.
Why? Do we treat minorities poorly?
No, they come here from all over the world to find happiness and prosperity.

Edit: when a new account shows up with a dossier of links under one arm and a briefcase of arguments under the other, on a classic flamewar topic, that's not a good-faith use of the site. Pre-existing agendas are not what HN is for. They're repetitive, tedious, and usually inflammatory—certainly that's the case in this thread. This destroys the curious conversation that the site is supposed to be for, so please stop doing this.
Please let this ill-founded meme die. Compare White House and media reactions to the shooting of Ralph Yarl versus the murder of Connor Mullins, or the shooting of Kinsley White and her parents. Coverage of heinous violent crime between these two demographics is wildly disproportionate to real-world rates of occurrence. Justice system treatment is closer to equitable but still has gaps.
