From the 1990s to the 2000s, mass media consistently praised civic nationalism and its values, promoting the idea that, regardless of race or linguistic background, anyone could be part of the nation as long as they integrated. However, a strange shift occurred in the West, especially in Europe, during the 2010s. What defines a European? Is it values, ethnicity, race, or language? This shift in thinking has also spread to other New World Western countries.
A clear example of this tension is Rishi Sunak, whose rise to power as Prime Minister often highlighted his Indian heritage. While his election was celebrated by the Indian community in the UK, it also sparked concerns about "dual loyalties." Sunak's identity as a British Indian was framed as a victory for diversity, yet it raised questions about national allegiance, particularly on issues affecting Britain's future.
So, where do you see the future of ethnic minorities who are not of European descent in the West? Will they stay and integrate, eventually intermarrying with the locals, or will they face treatment similar to the Spanish Inquisition in their host nations?
