Bias?
Isn't it a bit biased to define restrictive immigration policies as racism? Peter Jackson 10:08, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- It's unusual, but not necessarily biased. In reality, all countries' immigration policies either show or have shown clear racial preferences/exclusions and can accurately be described as racist. The problem is that all of the CZ articles on immigration policy should reflect this understanding, and it should not appear only in this article. Martin Baldwin-Edwards 10:55, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- All countries discriminate between citizens and foreigners. This necessarily involves indirect racial discrimination. So I can't see what difference immigration policy makes. Peter Jackson 11:17, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- This is a request, recognizing that I can't write the relevant article(s) because it isn't within my expertise. Might I suggest that the articles on race and racism reflect this usage, and be wikilinked to this one, and back, with Related Articles coverage?
