They just can’t win

Seriously, are there people say they are "fake" when immigrants adopt their culture??

I don't really hear anyone complaining about immigrants who adapt to the culture being fake. A lot of these feel forced or at least not equivalent to others.

“They” are the problem.

It’s in the language. Because it’s all “us” actually. Everyone’s human. If we keep seperating in language this will continue.

‘Culture is not your friend’ said a wise man.  If we look at the animal kingdom we see migration as a completely normal and functional behavior. Yet we as a species have some sort of conviction that being born on a specific patch of this earth grants us some kind of authority over it.

It’s so laughable ridiculous if you put it like that.

This is feeling extremely relevant in Japan right now as they are currently busy moving all the lines.

Thank you. Lot of truth in this.

I'm only speaking for my own country which is the UK but plenty of immigrant groups have had great success in integrating here and you barely hear a whisper about them from any of the people who hate immigration.

When China fucked over Hong Kong, support was exceedingly high from ALL political groups that we should offer them refuge. Same with Ukrainian refugees.

Indian groups integrated very well prior to the Boriswave and likewise felt very little pushback

The arguments have almost universally come against the groups that don't try to integrate and/or hold diametrically opposed views to the UK on basic human rights.

Primarily now that's Islamic groups, though Eastern Europeans also faced it due to the large scale migration of working age immigrants who moved here on a temporary basis from countries like Poland and Romania explicitly to make money to take home.

Being against immigration from certain cultures or for certain reasons doesn't make you racist.

It's 100% racism and xenophobia. Americans fled to other nations during the Vietnam war and WWII to avoid the draft. Ukrainians are fleeing their nation to avoid a war. I don't blame them for leaving their nations, it's just interesting that Ukrainians are considered legitimate refugees, and that they are expected to be given Asylum or refugee status, but many Europeans and Americans don't grant that same warm welcome to those from Libya or Afghanistan.
