    Because it’s illegal, duh. Once you enshrine your prejudices in law, they’re no longer racism, they’re just moral purity.

      The conditions that western powers put their countries in is also illegal :)

      If we talk about settler colonial countries found on terorrism like the United States of America, the majority are descendants of illegal immigrants (and the european north americans are not only descendants of illegal immigrants but terrorists, genocidal people who owned slaves)

        Sarcsam aside, personally, I think the fact that our law reflects our prejudices is more racist than the actual means that we use to enforce them, which is a pretty high bar to clear.
