  • I’ll give you that, racism against brown muslims was the reason they were elected.

    But this is not the first time a party was elected because of racism.

    No one is winning elections campaigning on kicking out Slavs. But parties have been compaigning against them. Take a look at how media was representing “Russian-Germans” in the early 90’s. Spoiler: just the usual. “They’re stealing social securities from families, getting everything handed to them…”.

    Or how populist media has portrayed Greeks after the financial crisis:

    Sell your islands, bankrupt Greeks!

    This is how Greeks are wasting [our] beautiful euros

    You won’t get anything from us!

    Not a single drop of racism to be seen in here, nope.

    Don’t get me wrong, anti-Muslim and anti-brown racism is rampant in Europe.

    But that’s only a subset of European racism, racist Europeans despise any and all refugees, regardless of skin color because they despise amy culture different from their own. Perhaps for the first two months of the Russian war of aggression they pretended otherwise. Afterwards however, the same. Identical. Populist. Talking points. Were used as in 2015.


  • even at the expanse of local population

    I suggest not parroting far right propaganda, thank you very much.

    Also, perhaps don’t apply fascist Poland, Hungary or Italy’s behavior on the entire EU, there are many millions of Syrian, Iraqi and Afghani refugees in the EU.

    Also, European racism is far more complex than white = good, brown = bad, like in the US.
    Nazis wanted to eradicate “white” Jews, “white” Romani and “white” Slavic people because of their ““race””. Do you seriously believe current day Nazis love the idea of Ukrainian immigrants? Have you actually seen how racist Germans treat Eastern European immigrant workers from Poland or Romania?
