I read once that birth rate is inversely proportional to wealth. Wealthier couples have, on average, fewer children than poor couples.

My interest in what drives white supremacist movements is what causes their fear of difference. The fear manifested in the “white replacement” conspiracy theory is a part of it. But their fear of nonwhites would be there even if there were equivalent birth rates.
