   This beautiful graph from a paper about attitudes towards immigrants in France made me laugh (not from a place of joy): (PDF)

     And then there's those of us who recognize that humans are never all going to get along, and mixing them together just brings out the old hatreds.

     @bipartisan that's not a reason to default to no or less immigration, which is just another way of defaulting to existing racism and discrimination

     @bipartisan I disagree fundamentally. Immigration brings great diversity and growth to every society. Racists and nationalists and haters in every nation can stay where they are, severely ostracized preferably. No one is as homogenous and pure as they think.

     It's not a reason to do anything

     It's a recognition

     Like gravity; you either accept it or not

     Adrianna Tan repeated this.

     @bipartisan as an immigrant, I disagree with your reality. I have been extremely welcome by many. What is even the point of this sort of statement? It simply plays into fascist ideas about fixed ideas of how bad people are.

     I am not talking about morality

     I am talking about reality

     I am not interested in Christ and Marx
