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.

"Ethnocentrism and xenophobia is not racism, so we are not racist!!" Say the Europeans in self-defense.

That's not the defense you think it is because where you find those, you will also find deep-rooted racism. My wife is born and raised French. 3rd generation immigrant family. France is racist af. Systemic racism like Americans won't believe. They still havnt started having conversations or reaching a point in those conversations that America has been past for decades now.

I know a white guy who has a PhD in history whose thesis and area of study concerns race. He went to France and wanted to move to France to do a continuation of his research centering on answering the same questions but for Europe. He tells me that Europe is way more racist and its much more rooted in culture, history, and politics than America even though America makes a lot of hullabaloo about racism.
