I would also have a question for those who believe that desiring cultural and ethnic homogeneity is necessarily racist. Do you feel that way about American Indian reservations, whose geographic ambit and legitimate membership is defined solely by ethnicity? What about hunter-gatherer tribes? Should they be expected to admit members from all parts of the world in such numbers as to completely remove their cultures? I doubt it. A case in favour of preserving such “victimized” and “vulnerable” groups of people is likely to be made in response to my question. However, to that response I would pose another question. Are you not treating such people differently based on their ethnicity and shared history? Is that not racist? If not, then why are people who do not share your specific pre-packaged neo-liberal family of ideas, who do the same thing, racist?
