Not comparable sorry, the overwhelming majority left peacefully. Fuck imperialism, the people of Africa have a right to fight for their freedom in the land they form the overwhelming majority. The colonial war was also nearly 50 years ago. What about now, in Portugal itself? How aware are they?

Yet look at the Africans today? Even after they won their "freedom" are they still not hopping on boats and going straight for the EU, U.S & Canada?

So Imperialism makes no difference. Also, the Portuguese and Dutch had settled there for 500 years. That's more than enough time for them to also be considered "Natives" and defend their infrastructure they had built up there (which they did, until Estado Novo ran out of money).

The African people had a right for their freedom regardless if you think it is better for them. If it were flipped and our people were the "low iq failures", I'd still support our right to freedom and self determination. It doesn't matter if the settlers would be considered natives, they didn't have the power to defend that regardless of the circumstances to why. It's well in the past now, what is alarming though the most is that I believe up to 200,000 Portuguese have actually migrated back to the colonies. I don't know the demographics of these that have but I'm assuming European Portuguese make up a substantial amount of that which is alarming.

Back to the question, how aware are the modern Portuguese to mass immigration and the great replacement?
