The rules have changed. I used the word "foreigners" to describe the many non-US citizens in my 'hood. People expressed dismay. They aren't even immigrants, just grad students. One thing about Europe - I wonder if the people are like us, in the sense their leaders just do what they want on immigration. I can't believe ordinary Swedes, o matter how leftist, want Muslims taking over cities. They just won't say it out loud, for fear of being seen as "racist." I have read enough bone-chilling news articles about the problems in Europe to not think this is true. It's the elites, just like here (with the illegals issue).
"Europe-i wonder if the people are like us."IMO,Just like us they've been propagandized 24/7(year after year)into pc thought and/or are simply hesitant to voice their feelings.I agree,no one wants to be called a racist or socially ostracized.Just like here,things are going to have to get much(!)worse before people act.Of course that's just my opinion,and you know what they say about opinions:)
