Which is more racist/xenophobic? Europe/Australia or USA?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Europe, definitely. Jan Brewer wouldn't dare to say half of the horrendous things we hear from mainstream right parties here.

I don't think you can say that in any European nation, the son of an immigrant could become President/Prime Minister.

Regarding that:

Europeans are relatively fine with wealthy immigrants. It's only the poor that pose a problem.

Elio Di Rupo was most certainly not born into wealth and privilege.

Oh, Western Europe certainly has made great progresses with regard to the acceptance of West European immigrants. That's undeniable. If you look back to half a century ago, being Italian in France wasn't exactly well-regarded, now it's not really a problem. One can hope the same will happen to East Europeans, Arabs and all the others, eventually.
