Justifications

• Immigration strangely ceases to be a problem when migrants are white

Objections

• Many Maghreb countries reject immigration, but we don't accuse them of racism
• The rejection of immigration is due to the economic situation, not to pseudo-racism.
• Notable figures who want to limit or halt immigration are of non-European origin, so we can't suspect them of racism.

Parent debate
