Over here, 20 years ago it was “the lazy non-working eastern europeans who don’t work are coming here and working hard taking all our jobs while they’re on welfare and not working”.
Polish and Romanians got so much racism not that long ago here in the UK.
Now it's anyone on the boats from France. But usually it's some variant of "look at all those men" with the implication that they're all dangerous rapists instead of refugees.
Do the Celtic Fringe in Scotland and Wales empathize with these people at all? It wasn't so long ago they were being oppressed by the English as well for being Celtic. So much so the lowland scots adopted the Saxon identity and forsook their Celtic heritage for awhile.
