It’s basically a mockery of the propositional nation where “magic soil” was used to say anyone who moves to America will eventually assimilate and become American. It’s a retarded notion but it was also heavily propagated on boomers which is why we have the shitshow today.
Another (supremely funny) facet of the magic dirt meme: the retarded natives of many shithole countries in Africa actually believe that the evil white men are hoarding all of the good countries - all of the magic dirt - for themselves. Like white people were somehow first in line when god was handing out countries so we got all the good ones.
“The idea that where a person lives determines their behavior, when in reality it's the people who live in a given location that determine if said location is safe or not.“
"Magic dirt" is the proposition that merely by residing at a place, that a person will magically act as if they grew up there, and conform to the societal norms of that new place they live.
"Magic dirt" supposes that a 75 IQ Pakistani who moves to London today will have the same morals, culture, and traditions as a native stock British subject who's family has lived there for 12 generations.
This is a core belief of boomercons that spout off about legal immigrations being beneficial for America.
You ever hear someone call America a "Nation of Ideals" or use the term "civic nationalism"? That's Magic Dirt™, the idea that all it takes to be an American is to say you are. Not blood, but soil: Magic soil.
It's an offshoot of Equality, the dominant religion of the West. It's the belief that we're all tabula rasa--blank slates--and evolution stops at the neck.
Put it this way: kudzu, nutria, and fire ants are rightfully seen as invasive species that destroy their local ecosystems. There was no magic dirt that made them get along and assimilate with everything else. No, they just eat, reproduce, and smother their environment to death.
However, try to apply that to immigrants, and all of a sudden that's different.
I'm a little lost at the joke about "magic dirt." At the risk of ruining said joke, can anyone explain?

Stole this from urban dictionary, but it fits:
