A part of me says that this kind of hate is how the Nazi's came to power, but a part of me says that they are having their homeland destroyed and their culture destroyed by an external hostile force.

It's a real problem, in many countries.

The mainstream political parties have declared that expressing any reservations at all about mass third-world immigration is "crazy" and "racist".

Therefore the only way that a sensible person with reservations can express them is to make common cause with the people who really are crazy and racist. And that's not real good for anyone.

Yep, the FN in France which has been traditionally anti-gay and anti-Jew has been increasing its Jewish vote share and has the largest rainbow vote share of any party. That's because they know that Muslims are the greatest threat to them, and there's nobody else willing to stand up to them.

This is spot on.

Fortunately, the Left has overplayed the threat of being called a racist. My understanding is that the term is basically meaningless in Europe already and the US is maybe 5 years behind. Hopefully, that will allow calm, rational and sane discussions.

If calm, sane and rational discussions on race, culture and immigration don't start soon, I don't expect that the anti-immigrant movements will get smaller or more restrained.

It says a lot about the public education in the U.S. when the only time I've heard of Bratislava was in Eurotrip.

The truth is as always somewhere in between. Letting other people move in and fundamentally change your country till you don't feel at home there anymore simply isn't right, nobody wants to be colonized. On the other hand, people who come from other places and make an adequate effort to assimilate into the local culture shouldn't be persecuted and free to expand it in positive ways.

Muslims don't tend to assimilate in Europe though. I was in England a month or so back and it was astounding we were staying at very nice hotel and I went to take a walk and have a cigar after dark and the doorman stopped me and told me that it was too dangerous because of the neighborhood being all muslim. The women were in burqas and I do not care about your opinion a burqa is not British.
