Are you a racist if you prefer to live in a mono-ethnic society?

It's not inherently racist. However, it unavoidably leads to rampant xenophobia, and xenophobia oftentimes turns into racism.

I have only one word to you; Switzerland.

Explain, please. It's news to me that people in Switzerland desire to live in a mono-ethnic society. I mean, you know that this country has never been and can by definition never be "mono-ethnic", don't you?

Perhaps his point was that Switzerland is quite racist despite being multiethnic?

Making generalisations about Switzerland is quite ridiculous anyway because the different parts that make up Switzerland are so different linguistically, culturally and politically speaking. And I contend that those who make generalisations about Switzerland such as "Switzerland is racist" know little to nothing about the country.

Well, it's definitely anti-Islam. What about the burqa ban? That's pretty racist.

But then it's unfair to single out Switzerland, since Belgium and France have similar laws. And I don't agree with the assessment that a burqa ban is racist. On the contrary, I would say it's a measure against a form of blatant oppression of women.
