That is precisely the point I am pointint at. For the most, your goals have not been questioned, and they derive from a cultural heritage formed by white christian europeans. And this dominance of cultural values and a national tradition deriving from these - is to be expected to chnage. that was different in the past waves or constant processes of immigration. It also means that ethnic patterns on the ground are changing. Some weeks ago for exaple there was a documentary essay about how the ethnic structure of inhabitants in Miami has massively changed over the past 60 years (people with a white european background moved away, hispanics massively replacing them, I think), and how this is reflected in changes of local policies, and chnaging focusses of local political projects.
