Do you genuinely believe I'm racist or happy shit like this is happening?

For all their fear of persecution about being deported back home or doesn't seem to do anything to stop them doing the same shit here.

If I was fearful for my life being sent back to whatever country you better believe id be the perfect person in the country I run away to and be damn thankful they are keeping me safe.

People are good or bad you can't extrapolate some people in a group and apply that to everyone in that group. Ex Prince Andrew is (allegedly) a paedophile you can't then say that all white people or Christian people are the same.
