MIddle East Oppression of White People

The "Great Replacement" is a political theory popularized in 2011 by French writer Renaud Camus. It claims that white European populations are being deliberately and systematically replaced by non-white (especially Muslim or African) immigrants through mass immigration, higher immigrant birth rates, and the alleged complicity of liberal elites, governments, and institutions. The theory has since been adopted and amplified by far-right and white-nationalist movements worldwide, including in the United.S., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It provided part of the stated motivation for the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooter, the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooter, and the 2022 Buffalo supermarket shooter.Core Claims vs. Demographic RealityIs there large-scale demographic change in Western countries?
Yes. Virtually all Western European countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have seen a significant increase in the proportion of their populations that are foreign-born or of recent non-European ancestry since the 1960s–1970s liberalization of immigration laws. In the U.S., the non-Hispanic white share of the population fell from ~85 % in 1965 to ~58 % in 2024 (U.S. Census Bureau).
In France, ~10–12 % of the population is now of non-European origin (mostly North and sub-Saharan African); in Germany ~15–20 % when including second-generation; in Sweden ~20–25 %.
Birth rates among native-born white populations are below replacement level (1.3–1.7 in most Western countries), while some immigrant groups have higher fertility (though these rates typically converge to local norms within one or two generations).
Is this change the result of a deliberate "replacement" plan?
No credible evidence supports the existence of any coordinated elite conspiracy to "replace" white populations. Immigration policy changes (e.g., U.S. 1965 Hart-Celler Act, EU freedom-of-movement rules, post-colonial family-reunification laws) were driven by economic needs (labor shortages), humanitarian commitments, geopolitical factors, and anti-racist reforms—not by a plot to alter ethnic composition.
Birth-rate differences are primarily socioeconomic and cultural, not evidence of orchestrated demographic warfare.
No leaked documents, internal memos, or whistle-blower testimony from governments or international bodies (UN, EU, etc.) have ever substantiated the existence of a "replacement" agenda. Claims that certain politicians or NGOs openly "celebrate" replacement usually rely on decontextualized or fabricated quotes.
Political and media amplification
The theory has moved from far-right fringes into mainstream conservative discourse in some countries. Figures such as Tucker Carlson (formerly of Fox News), Viktor Orbán in Hungary, and Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France have used versions of the language ("population replacement," "great replacement of Europeans," "becoming a minority in your own country") without always endorsing the full conspiratorial version. Polling shows a significant minority of conservatives in the U.S. and Europe now believe some version of the theory (e.g., 2022 Associated Press survey: ~1 in 3 U.S. adults believe a group is trying to replace native-born Americans).

SummaryRapid demographic change in Western societies is real and politically contentious. Lower native birth rates combined with sustained immigration have reduced the white share of the population in many countries and will continue to do so. However, describing this process as a deliberate, centrally orchestrated "Great Replacement" of white people remains a far-right conspiracy theory unsupported by evidence of intent or coordination. The phrase itself is frequently used to stoke fear and has been directly linked to multiple acts of terrorist violence.
