That is all I'll say on this issue, don't want a ban for telling the truth.
Likewise, that's all I'll say for now. I've said what I wanted to say and I think I've made my position clear enough. I will simply answer nei's question with a question. Does it matter who I say my people are?

Yes, your position is unclear without it.

I don't want to start a debate, but immigration in Europe has brought some very sincere problems. Mainly of large populations marginalising in ghettos consisting of only their original ethnicity. We (Finland) have avoided that mostly because of shifting focus in immigration, like this year we mostly take refugees only from Syria and next year mostly from Ukraine or something. I've lived in immigration-heavy areas almost all my life and never had ANY problems. OTH, I like it, as I've learned so much from so many cultures.

I'm not heavy on religion, so I don't care a bit what religion my neighbour worships.

I belong myself to a linguistic minority in my country, so for that reason as well I don't want to exclude anyone who happens to speak another language or being part of another religion.

Why does it matter? What I said could apply to any group of people. Are different groups of people to be treated differently?

It wasn't a "claim" by me. I made no claims. I only stated a preference.

Probably. Btw, "Native American" refers to the indigenous pre-European population. xenophobic refers to foreigners not skin color.
