 I also think we should reserve words like 'racism' for extreme cases to maintain their gravity. 

Opposing immigration isn't necessarily racist even if it's about preserving culture and resources. 
 Shaming vis a vis “your a barbarian” argument, assigning responsibility from one’s local responsibility to a greater (global) one is quite Davos of Vera. 

Lady de Rockefeller, is that you?

 Sure you can think whatever you want to think. What I think is that the overall feedback to my view feels like an organic language processing algorithm cutting bits of an image and highlighting on a dark spot therefore losing the meaning of the message. I expressed a feeling of solidarity for the refugees together with sadness for the way we put abusive regulations between each other and blocking the natural flow of information, experience and feeling that every nationality developed in it's unique way. I don t wish to fight "racists", but to protect people's natural rights. Labels do no good, indeed, but how are we to point to the roots of problems if people nowadays hide behind words? Love 💕
