That's another thing entirely. You have to be a very poor study of history to believe that unchecked mass immigration into any country is a positive force, regardless of race or culture.
Focus on that point if you want to be understood. Because you certainly seemed like a full-on racist up until this point. It's when you talk about preserving the white race that people tune you out and, quite fairly, completely write you off. You might want to focus on the importance of preserving the uniqueness of all cultures.
Here's an interesting example. The Japanese are doing quite well for themselves, yet are notoriously xenophobic and have extremely strict immigration policies. Why are people not demanding they take on refugees? People seem to believe their culture is worth preserving. But Europeans are afraid to say that they wish to preserve their cultures for fear of being seen as racist. The response to that is not to say, "Well, OK then! I AM a racist!" Because, again, that's not racist. Having moderate and thoughtful immigration policy is a cornerstone of any nation that wishes to maintain stability. The American experiment attests to this. Immigration, at the right rates, creates enough diversity to spur on the development of new ideas and new approaches to old problems. Too little and you have stagnation and navel-gazing. Too much and you have social unrest and an inability to anchor your culture.
The options aren't "LOL OPEN BORDERS XD" or "WHITE HOODS WHITE POWER GET OUT ALL THE DARKIES". Every reasonable option lies between those two absolutely moronic extremes. And yet media outlets are attempting to force you into one of those two boxes. Don't fall for the con.
