Modern nationalism is the glue that hold culturally and ethnically heterogeneous societies together under one banner. That's why it's so widespread in the USA and becoming more widespread in Australia as they open their borders to immigrants.

It's not as widespread in Europe though because most European countries are more homogeneous.

white Americans are a shitload more homogenous as a whole than Europe as a whole

Which doesn't mean much since the non-Hispanic whites made up only 63% of the US population as a whole in 2012 and that number is declining rapidly.

It's also the most likely place people would move to according to Gallup.

Yep, because if there's any kind of world war, America would win.

So wanting to move here makes perfect sense.

Eh, the US hates Mexicans more than (e.g.) Somalians* precisely because we shared a border with them. Europe has the same problem with Arabs in general, even/especially because they take the same low paying jobs that Mexicans do in the US.


*Not to be confused with African Americans, who Americans hate quite a bit.

I think much more interesting is the way African Americans hate Hispanics.
