re: #73 Bagua

No it shouldn’t you are correct. But I reckon in the current political environment charges of xenophobia are being used to cover for the illegal aliens just as charges of Islamophobia is used to cover for focus on Islamist crime.

There are those who use it like that, but there’s also a fair bit of genuine racism and refusal to deal with facts on the ground out there. This is one of those really truly complicated issues. It does not reduce well to simple slogans. Or rather, it reduces really well to simple slogans, but no one has ever solved any problem connected to it like that.
