Sounds pretty fine to me. Not impossible, but delicate. If the immigrant considers themselves as interchangeable in all cases with the natives, then the next question is, "why should I be a racial minority?"
Why would that be a legitimate question if they are properly integrated?
Normally, "integration" was almost directly understood as: intermarriage. After 3 generations of intermarrying into the majority group, you wouldn't even identify as the minority group.
If, on the other hand, they are still within their group (which suggests you weren't going slowly and you have created a colony), and they are integrated into the society, there is no reason to fear being a minority.
If the minority is merely recognized as a present minority in the country with no real concern about them one way or another; then there is no issue. I have yet to hear anyone complain about the number of Finns in their country, regardless of country. Nobody seems to really care. This is because either integrate with their neighbors or don't form colonies. But if a minority were to emerge and properly integrate; it would be recognized as simply a local curiosity. "Over here, you will see a small finish community. They have good fish!"
Now, we are left with the possibility of minorities in the country that won't integrate. This could be a problem, but only if they do not adopt a "model minority" tradition. Very few people complain about the presence of Amish beyond their buggies being slow. They are separatist to a significant degree, but they do not seek war, nor conflict, and often deal fairly with others. The overseas Germans, Japanese, and Chinese were also regarded in similar manners.
The danger of the model minority is that they might be too successful. You don't need a domestic population getting resentful of a successful minority otherwise you could create serious ethnic tension. Such as what has occasionally happened with the Chinese, Japanese, the Boer, and Jews. The Amish, physically can't outpace the domestic population by virtue of their religion, protecting them from popular reprisals; but the others could be a problem. This is why you want to keep immigration low. Low enough to the point that those populations do not colonize in the first place, and integrate with the society at large.
The only exception to this is in Civic Nationalism, where you basically forcibly integrate them into your civic value structure. This, in and of itself, is a big way of pushing back on most migration if you maintain it. The immigrants have to voluntarily arrive, and then voluntarily abandon their old ways to assimilate. Refusal is depuration. Nothing else can be tolerated.
Multi-culturalism doesn't work because it is staunch segregation. It can't work. You are either all in, or you are all out.

OK I agree, but that's not what we're talking about here.

I would agree in theory. But in practice, the ethnic narcissism of certain groups, fanned by Jewish interests, insists on the privilege to import more and more of them - and who are the genetic natives to disagree because that would mean that a native is somehow more of a citizen than racial minorities?
Also there is the justification that the genetic natives are not really legitimate because they themselves displaced a native people, which can easily be applied to Japan via the Ainu. In practice, the immigration debate is a slippery slope toward this argument.
OK I agree, but that's not what we're talking about here.
Here is just a straight up failure to integrate. It's not even magic dirt, it's magic passport.
But in practice, the ethnic narcissism of certain groups
I don't think that's a thing that we can assume that 'groups' as we are constructing them makes sense. People aren't just from groups, they are from specific people, specific places, and specific times. Those specific people-places-times can vary quite wildly even within a group. I'm not worried about importing Indonesian Muslims from 1910, I'm worried about importing Pakistani Muslims from 2023.
fanned by Jewish interests
I reject that as well. Ethnic conflict is fanned by a series of authoritarian and Leftist interests.
who are the genetic natives to disagree
Most places don't have any genetic natives. Even Ireland doesn't. That's one of the reasons Leftists wield around this crazy "we're all immigrants" nonsense. If you take 'native' or 'indigenous' to that extreme, you'll be hard pressed to find any at all.
But, we understand the Irish are native to Ireland, regardless to whether or not the current Irish population is genetically Celtic and migrated from central europe several thousand years ago. Genetic nativism is pretty unhelpful.
... you went on to point this out.
that would mean that a native is somehow more of a citizen than racial minorities?
That's just not true. No recent arrival is "more" of a citizen than a citizen.
That's not a fine line, you just need to accept that immigrants may need 3 generations to fully integrate, and must be kept as the minority.
That does start with the immigrant trying to recognize themselves as that thing (even if they are not).
