Racism in Europe?

I have heard many say that racism in Europe is more widespread than in any continent. In 1990, when I was in Italy, I felt that this was true; not towards me, but most especially towards blacks -- the polizia and the carabinieri had more surprise inspections of groups of blacks, but not without justified reasons most times. Racism in sports, especially football, has been a concern and advocacies have not been few (examples: Football Against Racism Europe (FARE), Let's Kick Racism Out of Football, and Campaign for Racial Equality). Sadly, though, even legitimate police actions against minorities are almost always slapped with the racism absolute moral authority card.

And it does not get any better, it seems. Even global warming alarmists seem to show their "racist tendencies", in the guise of genuine concern for climate change -- in reality, in their own words, "security implications and the dangers to European interests thrown up by climate change". Europe will be deluged by the "environmental migrants." Seems like they are saying: Hell, no. If governments will not act on climate change, then we will have more of these migrants in Europe.

Now who is really fear-mongering? Read here.
