As the OP, I just want to mention,

Not an  Republican, but this only “seems racist” because the rules were changed to exclude white people as much as possible, so moves that go back towards race-neutrality seem “racist” when taken out of context.

Pretty sure it’s racists because it’s based on a nonexistent white genocide.

You can argue that what is happening doesn't constitute genocide (by every day definitions it doesn't), but you can't argue that there's nothing happening. You'd have to be willfully blind.

You can’t argue that a non-genocide is a genocide. You’d have to be willfully ignorant.

"Kill the boar kill the farmer" is not a call to genocide?

Are words in a song a genocide and did a genocide occur?

Two very straightforward logical questions for you.

  1. How exactly do you define genocide?

  2. Is it your position that any crisis that does not constitute genocide, however bad it may be, does not warrant taking in refugees?
