Is it racist to be opposed to uncontrolled mass migration?

An irrelevant theoretical question.

The answer would depend on how it was implemented.

If the migration was allowed in the restricted numbers with equal access to any race then it would be difficult to be considered racist.

If it were done on the basis of a list of acceptable races then it very obviously would be racist.

Uncontrolled means it is not implemented, restricted etc.

The OP is about subtle racism masquerading as interest in immigration policy. This question is just as relevant as questions about the immigration of Communists, Nazis, Muslims etc.

I'll give you a hint Brian. I am not asking you what our current immigration policy is.

I didn't assume you were, FD. Tsk, tsk. Appears you don't like the answer you got. I wonder why? Mmmm? Roll Eyes

What answer? That you cannot give a straight answer because this is not our immigration policy?

Is it racist to be opposed to uncontrolled mass migration?

Is it racist to oppose the immigration of Nazis?

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Excuse me, FD, are you saying we should let in communists and Nazis?

I'm curious. Whoever said that?

So do you mean communists and Nazis who are tinted, or tanned?
