And why are they migrating, I wonder. If only there were reasons other than purely economic ones, like war, lack of stability, extreme droughts and other fucked up things we tend to think of while considering third world countries - many of them destabilized forever by the western nations.
The thing is, we’re both lucky, my Czech friend. They were not. What are they supposed to do? Die there, just because the richest and most privileged place in the world is too good to help out?
currently, I believe India takes the cake on that particular front, at least prime minister Modi does. For example, the ruling part is making all schools, public & private, remove references to evolution and the periodic table of the elements from grade 10 science curriculum as it challenges Hindu Nationalist ideas of Indians being the first peoples, and the greatest scientists.
@tomve_cz@szczur cultures and values change over time. That is the natural progression of the world. Migration is a human right, keeping your lilly white part of the world lilly white is not.
Man, the one and only reason humanity is a thing so different than the others is because we have a natural tendency towards helping out each other and cooperate in ways not observed amongst other species. Empathy and benevolence are inherently human traits and it’s what made our society rise above in the first place.
But some people are assholes and you’re a great example of that.

Thanks for reminding me these garbage takes aren’t exclusive to the us, and sometimes you Europeans are even crazier with your xenophobia.
Unfortunately xenophobia is alive and well also in Europe. It tends to be more insidious and subtle, but it is very much there.
Yes it’s a different version, and also different in each country but each one has their share of racists and xenophobes, for sure.
