Would the economy collapse or thrive? Would there be countries happy to accept the deportees? How would they even deport so many people?

Curious about your thoughts on the hypothetical.

    As someone who’s Chinese American, I’ll have to find a new country. I mean… winnie the pooh isn’t gonna want me back, I don’t even have citizenship in PRC anymore. I mean, I highly doubt they want 5 million westernized people back so quickly.

    The first choice I would try is go to Canada, they have a decent ethnic Chinese population and they are English Speaking, so I’ll probably fit right in. But IDK if they’ll be accepting refugees, since the rest of the US non-whites are also expelled abd many would probably go for Canada. Next option is Australia. Then Singapore. Then maybe Taiwan. Wait actually nvm, China is gonna invade Taiwan since the US would have collapsed. EU could also be another option to asylum.

    I honesly don’t know where the Black American population is gonna go. I mean, the continent of Africa has been divided so much by European colonialization, that its very hard to track back to an ancestry origin.

    Hispanic/Latino Americans would probably go to Spanish speaking South American countries or Mexico.

    Also the world could be at risk, since the US would end up as a war zone… Imagine the KKK or other neo-nazi groups gaining access to a nuclear silo…

    I think the world is just gonna end up covered in mushroom clouds after a nuke gets lanuched into Russia or China because nazis want racial purification.

    So TLDR: One misplaces nuke in the hands of white supremaciat groups and it escalates into Nuclear WW3.

      The EU is already doing its best to attract scientists from the US, so if you’re educated, you might have good chances, especially if you’re willing to learn a new language. Probably you could get your family into the EU too.

      This is one thing I’m kinda hopeful about actually. The continent is really large and spreading out 100 million people across it could work out quite well. Black culture is already pretty popular in parts of Africa, and Black women in the US are the biggest group of people getting degrees, if I’m not mistaken. It could be massive brain drain from the US to the advantage of African countries.

      Indeed. I do wonder how quickly they’d go from “we’re the best, we don’t need y’all” to “alright, give us everything you got!”.
