People have always been bigoted and exclusionary.  Its just some dress
up their exclusion as "diversity" and "inclusion"
 
Its just the same old, same old.  People haven't changed.
 
Some of the most bigoted, supremacist and hostile people I've met were
so called anti-racists.

I've met people like that, of course.  Absoultely is not a white only
issue.  I've seen plenty at work. 

The oddest example was when I was visiting Dachau concentration camp, of
all places, and a White Australian literally thought it was good that a
particular ethnicity was on its way out.  She thought she was being
just.

I've spoken to multiple people, strongly pro-immigration and against
"xenophobia" who seems to sincerely believe that people who were not
White, could have no hope of a decent life unless they could move to a
White country and have it done for them.  Literal white supremacism.
