"The mix is always better" implies replacing the existing mix, white or otherwise.

A monoculture is almost always worse. The mix is what has made--and often continues--to make countries stronger. We can disagree about the quantity or blends, yet it seems obvious to me from insular cultures that we have to have more than zero.

Sure. I don't think even the most rabid anti immigration advocate would hold the number at zero, but using the GP's logic ("the mix is always better") the Native Americans should be quite grateful they were culturally enriched by the incoming Europeans.

I think you are missing the point. The Native American's objection wasn't to meeting Europeans, it was to the whole genocide thing.
It also requires there to be replacement. I.e. an attempt to somehow remove white people.
What the parent seems to be suggesting appears to be more akin to cultural exchange and/or the traditional idea of America as a "melting pot".
