Racism/xenophobia in general doesn’t just
hurt those subjected to it in a given society, but everyone in it, because it
poisons that given society, making it a very unpleasant place to live.
Minorities and migrants get the brunt of it,
of course, since they’re directly harmed by it, but many people supporting them
are also attacked directly, both physically and mentally. They’re called
traitors and worse by the eager racist zealots. People helping the refugees in Greece
A society dominated by such a horrible view
on what humanity is supposed to be isn’t a very harmonic and pleasant society
at all.
Yes, the racist/anti-migration supporters are
the problem, the huge problem, not minorities, not refugees, not migrants. The
very idea that foreigners bring trouble is preposterous. They bring very
necessary change and spice to our lives.
I’m very happy and proud that I’m a part of a
growing underbelly of society and humanity saying no to old horrors and
embracing the new, exciting world of true multiculturalism.
Those in charge of a given society encourage
xenophobia because it distracts people from what’s truly wrong in that society.
It’s time for us to say a big NO to both the
ugly mass of xenophobes and their masters.
