Seems like Europe is turning against the Muslim community.
As a Canadian I'm curious why this is happening and what people think could be done to make for a more welcoming transition. We also accepted quite a few middle eastern refugees over the past few years and I'm wondering if there are lessons to be learned.
General problems being projected on foreigners, turning into racism.
General problems are parents integrate well, children clamp on their parents identity and prefer that over the identity of their place of residence. And if you look at the statistics it's not projected, it's true (math doesn't lie)
While there might be some minor problems caused by immigrants or by people whose parents were immigrants 99% of the problems the right-wing parties claim are caused by immigrants are completely domestic issues (affordable rents, job losses, crime,...), caused by domestic policy about immigrants (e.g. complaining they are expensive when you literally don't allow them to work) or just rely on people not understanding numbers and percentages (anything about replacement by immigrants).
Huh. It may be because I'm not exactly neurotypical, but I am not only the child of immigrants, I came to the Americas as an 11 year old. (Ok so it's the U.S, which also might skew things) I did NOT clamp onto my parents identity. I love being an American (right down to bitching about how bad it can be, and how much things need to change)
My husband was born in Alabama with a Korean mother and also does not think of himself as anything other than American. Again, tho, he isn't neurotypical. Hm.
Got any of those statistics?
Thatβs just BS (and bad statistics and malicious reading of statistics)
That does not justify this racist party
