There are those from the “open borders” movement who believe we should open our home to the world. They argue that borders are racist. That saying Europe is the home of the Europeans is racist. They suggest that we in Europe owe the world. That we should be punished for colonialism. Or the Holocaust.

They imply that we are slightly boring societies with something lacking at our heart. As though the culture of Goethe and Bach, Rousseau, Voltaire and Dante could do with some sprucing up.

Incidentally, nobody ever argues for the reverse. No one ever says Pakistan or Eritrea are boring and could do with an injection of millions of French or British people. Well, they did once. But we had a word for that, and we don’t regard it as a term of flattery now.

Except the immigrants come to Europe out of desperation, Soren, whereas the Imperialists went to India or Pakistan or Bangladesh or most of Africa or most of Asia or the New World or Oceania out of greed and a desire to dominate. Tsk, tsk, I am not surprised that you cannot differentiate the two. It is typical of your sort of thinking, now isn't it, Soren? Roll Eyes
