It's not racist to be from an old world country and not want to accept immigrants from a culture that is wildly incompatible with yours.

It's not like they didn't try and it has been disastrous every time: France and Sweden are great example of awesome to live in European states that are degraded and drstabilized by mass immigration from Africa and Middle East.

Discrimination of someone based on their ethnicity with no other information is racist.

That is not what's happening in Europe. Saying that the position in my comment is racist shuts down any possibility of discourse about cultural differences and their impact on social cohesion.

Which is why screaming 'racism' is a dirty tactic used by demagogues to derail all discussions.

You’re generalizing and saying immigrants from Africa and the Middle East destabilize and degrade France and Sweden without having any other information. It’s textbook racism. It’s right out of a fascists playbook

Why without any information? It is incredibly well documented in both news and academic circles.

Sweden being destabilized by the massive immigration wave is well documented, maybe do a bit of research for once in your life

Im not doing your research for you lmao. You’re making the claim so you provide the sources and evidence to back up your claim. The person I originally replied to said France and Sweden were being “pillaged” by African and middle eastern immigrants without providing any sources, articles, or anything. Just lazy nonsense.

You think racists don't validate their views with "facts" ?

For instance, what "CULTURE" are you talking about ? Didn't you just generalize ?

Same way there isn't one united french culture and people, there isn't one united immigration culture or whatever. This is just right wing media propaganda. Ofc some migrants are awful. Same way some french people are awful. Calling someone racist doesn't shutdown any possibility of discourse.

There are actually cultural groups that are well defined. A catholic or atheist immigrant from Belgium will integrate into French society than a Muslim from North Africa with no education.

Again, only a complete moron or a hypocritical propagandist would fail to recognize this and whine 'racism'.

I'm sure you didn't just call me a moron...

What does "integrating" mean ?

That they can live side by side with the native culture without clashing, that they are a positive, or at least neutral influence on the state of the country and contribute their fair share to economy
