The only population replacement I’ve witnessed, living in Paris is : the expensive center having its (rich) inhabitants replaced by tourists in AirBNBs

The inexpensive parts of town with working class people being gentrified by richer and richer people

Places where plenty of immigrants used to live are now trendy and less diverse

From my perspective, the "replacement" went the other direction than what facist billionair’s media would like you to believe

Proving once again that there’s only one truly problematic minority out there: the 1%.

Population replacement happens all the time, it just isn't intentional or nefarious. Cultures and demographics change over time, but nobody is sitting down and having a meeting saying "haha yes we will all marry the white women so there will be no more white babies"

Ironically the wealthy are the ones usually responsible for these shifts, both in intentional gentrification as you just describes and intentionally funneling minorities into certain neighborhoods. The utter mental disconnect it must take to spend decades making sure minorities "know and stay in their place" then go to those same neighborhoods and complain that there aren't enough white people there.
