    Did it ever occur to you that the groups that have a higher birth rate DONT use as much resources as the low birthrate ones? Think about all the groups we’re talking about: Lower income, Black, Latino, American Indian, Asian, immigrant, Catholic, and poor white Protestants. None of those groups are known for conspicuous consumption the way well off white suburbanites do. None of them have giant lawns that suck up water and require lawnmowers, trimmers, hedgers, leafblowers, and sometimes outside labor just to show off the ugly useless things to their neighbors. Ever heard of the expression ‘my Indian car’? It’s what American Indians call the broken down used cars we keep running against all odds instead of buying the newest model of Hummers or Escalades every year like many suburbanites do. Mexicans eat beans and rice all the time, and we are not the target market for Starbucks or other environmental bullies. Having a large family is not morally indefensible, but living like it’s OK to use the same resources as those 700 Ethiopians do definitely does make you what American Indians call a wasichu, literally a ‘fat taker’, someone who takes and never gives anything back. Most of the groups you decry as breeders have moral and religious philosophies against the consumption you decry, but guess who doesn’t? It’s far more likely to be someone of your background than mine. And don’t forget the massive DEPOPULATION American Indians went through, 95% of us killed off. Until we are back to the 15 million there were of us in the US before wasichus got here, I’ll have as many kids as I please.
