No-one is suggesting that it will get that far. But....we have always had scumbags. They were just below the surface and are now coming out. The Eastern Europeans are probably more racist than we are - when foreigners turn up to live in their countries. They do not have many foreigners. E.g. Estonia has a few Aserbaijanies ( if that is how you spell it ) and plenty of Russians, who were put there by Breschnew to be a problem if Estonia wanted independance ( which they now have ). Black and brown coloured people are not known... They are seen as a threat as are muslims.... It seems to be that the countries with least muslims and coloured people tend to be the most racist. Inside Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which is sparsley populated and has the lowest percentage of immigrants, is the area with the highest vote for the far right anti-immigration party. In Rumania, on the black sea coast around Constanca there are 16 different ethnic groups that live together in relative harmony ( apart from they don't like the gypsies ) - but the coast was always a melting pot for immigrants, so they are not so racist. I can, of course, only speak generally from what I have seen and heard. There are always exceptions.
