    I wonder how old you are. Seems you’re missing the population issue. I can go on and on, but I’m 54 and I’ve seen demographics and population change radically. Fine with the demographic changes, but I can see some being alarmed that “their” country is being taken away. Don’t agree, but I get the sentiment.

    As I’ve seen the planet’s population more than double in my life, seen the countryside paved over for strip malls, I’m screaming, “NO MORE FUCKING PEOPLE!” Who’s to blame? Can you see how it’s easier to blame the “other”?

      Blaming the “other” is just tribalism, which has all the same problems as racism. Saying it’s easy doesn’t excuse it.
