    essentially illiterate (and i mean this with all due respect) people from a completely different culture who are not prepared to do anything remotely useful for at least 10 years, probably more.

    saying with all due respect doesn’t make your bullshit racist essay any less racist, racist.

      How is this racist? If I move to, say, Azerbaijan, I’m just as lost as them. I know fuck all about the language, can’t even read the alphabet they have and don’t know shit about the culture. And we share skincolours.

      I have a PhD, but I’m basically useless in Azerbaijan for anything but menial labour, explained slowly with lots of gestures.

      If you won’t even acknowledge that some people need help to learn to read, does that mean you want to eliminate literacy support for refugees? Isn’t that far more racist than just accepting reality? I believe this is what we call horseshoe politics at work. The tendency for the loudest “anti-racists” in the room to be the absolute worst racists.
