Para Pundit points me to this article in the WASHINGTON TIMES about the drift to the Right of European politics because of Muslim immigration. Once the cultural elites go into denial mode about the problems of culturally incompatible immigration and obstacles to assimilation-the populace has to turn to more rough-hewn demagogues as their only defense against the destruction of their culture.
This can lead to problems. For instance, it is clear that Muslim immigrants from South Asia are a serious long term problem for the UK. Their tendency to be found in the underclass and riot out of control is known. But to generalize to South Asians as a whole causes difficulties-because the fact is that Hindus, especially those exiled from East Africa, tend to be highly productive and law-abiding citizens. Hindu Gujarati immigrants from East Africa look much the same to a typical white person as those from Pakistan or Bangladesh. A policy that discriminated against South Asians as a whole might actually deprive England of some its most entrepenurial and socially stable individuals. With the cultural elites-who are often well aware of the nuances-refusing to tackle the geniune problems that come with mass immigration, we shouldn’t be surprised if Europeans react by employing a sledge-hammer where a knife might be more suitable.
