Well in fact we only have the version John Smith told and many historians think he fibbed about it. But we know for sure that in the end of it all the English tricked Poca. into captivity. Used her as ransom to collect good from the natives which the natives didn't have enough to satisfy the settlers. She disowned her culture and family later married John Rolfe not John Smith and moved to England. So what threatened her culture was the forced influence of the English settlers, whom by all means only wanted the land and anything valuable and used any means possible to get what they wanted.. As you know people who come to settle that think they are higher and more civilized than the natives change everything and if the influence is great enough they have the power to destroy what was there. Fact is Pocahontas didn't keep it together, she disowned her family and her father since he didn't have enough means to satisfy the English settlers.

Pocahontas was a little girl, about ten years old. She probably saw the whites as invaders and, it scared her. If the story ever happen with Jon Smith, which was doubtful, it was a play thing, nothing more. The chief may have listened but, then let his daughter have her way. Being spoiled like most Indian kids were.
It was most likely as "plaything" to her. John Smith and his men took full opportunities to screw the Indians and, eventually paid for it.
The whites own social standing didn't allow them to really congregate with the Indians, the lower echelon did all the dirty work.

Pocahontas' and the natives (they were NATIVE AMERICANS) were threatened by the coming of the ENGLISHMEN (comprised of Captain John Smith's men). But Pocahontas, unlike the others, was brave enough to accept, and eventually befriend them.

It's already kinda blur now, sorry. That's all I can remember.
Watch "The Real World," it's the not-cartoon version of the story, and I think it narrates it pretty well.

I don't know many whites that fear minorities are threatening their culture as they are major participants in American film, sports, and music. At night in cities I bet lots of white people fear seeing black people, however to address your question I don't think the fear of minorities is increasing. I think its been this way for a while. As for economic security, I don't feel minorities threaten the economic security of whites because generally minorities have lower paying jobs because they have less education because less education has been available to them in the past.
