Yet, let's not believe this is only an American problem. Europe is in a similar but very different crisis. We cannot seem to amend for our past while Europeans are unable to accept the large influx of foreigners. Similar in that we're essentially talking about whites openly asserting their ethnic and cultural dominance over all others. Different in that non whites are no less legitimate than whites are, while in Europe a case could be made that immigrants have a duty to integrate in the nation's culture they settle in. Conversely, so called minorities in the US have a case to fight for equality while minorities in Europe ought to live by the standards of their adoptive country or leave. European immigrants use the arguments of American minorities but they aren't the same for a simple reason, America is a land of immigrants, willing or not; while European nations are a reflection of their unique cultures over which many wars were fought to assert. European nations have no obligation to protect minority rights, but minorities have an obligation to integrate into general society.
The speeches of far right politicians in the US and Europe may sound the same, but their references are very different.
