I'm having a hard time trying to understand why Americans are afraid of immigrants and other non-US or non-white people are taking their jobs, wives, offices, official positions and etc. Like what's the problem? Especially you Christians, how is ethnocentrism biblical?

I'm still open to hearing your thoughts. No offenses, and respond as a Christian from the Biblical perspective. I'm not concerned about the political stances you may have.

Reminder to all Christians:
1. Focus on Christ, repentance and forgiveness, and evangelizing to all people as it is commanded.
2. Be concerned about the purity of doctrine and church fellowship, or people you are friends with and whether they believe in Christ or not.
3. Study, read and meditate upon the Holy Scriptures and other Classical christian literatures. Go to church. Partake the Lord's Supper.
4. Practice and keep the 10 commandments or the Decalogue. Love is the fulfillment of the Law.
5. Read Romans, Galatians and the Pastoral Epistles. All the Bible.
6. Practice piety (not Pietism and hypocrisy).
7. Have a christian work ethics (especially that of Protestant).
8. Then maybe you'll have a small time or no time to concern yourself with political ideologies, race, ethnicity and all that favors your living in this world. They're material, and don't entangle yourself in those kind of affairs and disputes.
9. Silence – Silence is a respectful admission that other people have wisdom to share and important things to share. The proud person interrupts frequently and quickly thinking he knows already what the other person is saying or that what he has to say is more important. But as humility grows, we become better listeners, appreciating that others may be able to offer us knowledge or wisdom that we currently lack.

12 More Steps: Out of Pride and into Humility, from St. Bernard. - Community in Mission
In yesterday’s Post we considered the 12 Steps of Pride set forth by St. Bernard of Clairvaux. In escalating ways, the 12 twelve steps draw us up to an increasingly mountainous and enslaving pride. St. Bernard also lists the 12 steps to deeper humility (I…
NB: And also please show love to white people just as you love everyone else. A Christian who obeys God's Word and the Law loves people and his neighbor, and his neighbors is anyone who comes in contact with him.
Good news for the Lutherans. A lot of materials are being translated and scanned for our reads. Especially by the Scholastic Lutherans on YT.

St. Basil:
Concerning the Hearers: that those hearers who are instructed in the Scriptures should examine what is said by the teachers, receiving what is in conformity with the Scriptures and rejecting what is opposed to them; and that those who persist in teaching such doctrines should be strictly avoided.”
(FC, Vol. 9, Basil, Ascetical Works, The Morals, Rule 72, pp. 185–186)

“I have learned to yield this respect and honour ONLY to the canonical books of Scripture [solis eis Scripturarum]: of these ALONE do I most firmly believe that the authors were completely free from error.” - St. Augustine, Ep. 82.3
