But it's unrealistic. There's hundreds of millions of European people in Europe. I don't think African and Middle Eastern immigrants will replace those hundreds of millions of Europeans any time soon.
Anxiety suggests that it is egotistical and based on some sort of imagined concern. I often hear about "white anxiety" which is very interesting because the narrative (of course, because everyone thinks in narratives now days) is always that the anxieties are held by the privileged white males and baseless.
However far from being baseless there is genuine reason to be concerned. Furthermore it is not some fantastic hysteria of white supremacists but a reality that needs to be addressed in some form or another. Because it ultimately has existential implications for the future of Europe.

And this is definitely not a genocide. To call what is happening in Europe now a genocide is an insult to genuine victims of genocide.
It also obscures the reality of the situation and detracts from serious discussion.
What mass immigration will produce will not be genocide but rather assimilation of established identities into new ones or divided nations that suffer ethnic conflict and instability, perhaps even civil war.
As for interracial fantasies, that is not my concern. I have no objections to interracial marriages. Anyone can assimilate into an ethnicity, therefore it is not a racial issue for me. The pace at which settlement to Europe is happening prevents such assimilation but results in the preservation of settler identities in the lands they have arrived in.
Needless to say, if someone has absolutely no discomfort at the thought of his people either becoming assimilated or a minority in lands they have inhabited for thousands of years they are basically insane.

Western culture differed radically one century ago, and even 50 years ago and less it looked much different and many values were far from what they are today. In 50 years it will look different as well. Obsessing about a romanticized ideal of what the past "was" isn't very healthy for one's mind. Interracial cuckolding projections/fantasies are the result (just take a quick look at some of the threads being posted in in the last month). Don't go down that path, PI.
Western societies were static in terms of migration. There was nothing on the scale that exists today except in colonial settings.
It is rather disturbing that you attribute not wanting to vanish into something else some type of cuckolding projection.
Please show me an example of a country where people would happily be assimilated or become a minority in the land where they were established for thousands of years. I can assure you that nationalities in most of the world would not.
Anyhow this is drifting off topic. The fact is that Western countries have no business interfering in the Middle East. Narratives about 'threats to Western interests' and manufactured Islamophobia are distractions from the real and genuine interests of Westerners, namely to live in peace with all nations and peoples.
