> But if I were to put numbers on how many new people a group can absorb per year without radically changing its culture, I'd put it at about 10% … If we extrapolated to the whole U.S. population and assumed they were all evenly distributed, this'd be 34M people/year

You think you can absorb 10% of the population every year without radically changing the country’s culture? My parents are still 80% Bangladeshi even after 40 years in the U.S.

We have empirical data showing that cultural differences in everything from social trust to savings rates persist for generations. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/09/th...
