Btw, it's not racist to oppose immigration or even to prefer your country's original 'culture'.

The difficulty has always been that a lot of actual racists and xenophobes ARE drawn to anti-immigration pro-indigenous culture positions.

And so guilt-by-association takes root.

As long as you always try to be precise in your language, specific in your outlook (ie. try to be aware of your generalizations), and kind in your heart, then ignore those calling you a racist.

Ultimately though, the fact that some people may wrongly label you racist for speaking out against the current scale or scope of immigration doesn't alter the fact that the debate needs to take place at the level of immigration, not at dictating how those people, once here, should dress/eat/worship.

Once here, we should all have the same freedoms. We may debate those freedoms, we may restrict or expand them, but that should happen irrespective of the religion or cultural origin of individuals.
