i've done lots of work with ethnic minority communities over the years and in most cases it's been me initiating the contact and promoting my own programs of cultural integration.
So, i certainly don't consider myself racist....BUT....
neither do i consider it racist to not want my country overrun with refugees. In Europe we're facing a major crisis. It's not the ethnicity of the refugees that's the problem, it's the cultural differences. The refugees don't speak our language, share our culture, subscribe to our cultural values and they don't subscribe to democratic values. If refugees were coming from European countries we would welcome them with open arms because they share all those same values. But you cannot expect millions of people with cultural/social/political/religious ideologies, diametrically opposed to yours, to integrate. does that make us all racist? it does according to European left wingers
