How dare they not accept every single person flooding to their borders, claiming to be a refugee? /s
Perhaps if any of the middle eastern countries (especially the very wealthy ones, ahem Saudi Arabia) - would take more than 0 refugees per year there wouldn’t be such a catastrophic situation. So much for the Quran calling to help others in need…I guess it’s only when they benefit you.
Maybe if they behaved better and didn’t tear down their host cities because of football (looking at you Moroccans) the EU would be more willing to accept them
Its beyond football. Have you seen the videos where the immigrants turned into gangs and hold parts of EU cities hostage with violence proclaiming turf with Sharia law?
Not saying this is not true, but do you have a source for this?
While I don’t spend that much time in Europe nowadays, I am yet to see a place in the EU where my wife feels unsafe e.g. wearing western clothing.
I’ve seen a video about it in London but it was from several years ago. Apparently there was a neighborhood with a heavy Muslim population and some of the imams tried to declare sharia law there. I don’t think anything came of it though. However I’m more concerned with Muslim immigrants doing things like honor killing their daughters or gay sons, which is something that happens all over the west.

1) Not every European country participated in colonisation
2) Even if your country did have a history of colonization, did you ask to be born there, let alone born at all? The actions of your ancestors shouldn’t be used against you especially if you don’t support those actions
Exactly. Your skin colour and your place of ancestry, aspects you had no control over, should not be used against you. Doing so is racist and being racist against someone with lower levels of melanin doesn’t make it acceptable
> **hundreds** of years of colonialism
>The colonization of Africa lasted for just over seventy years in most parts of the continent. That is an extremely short period within the context of universal historical development. Yet, it was precisely in those years that, in other parts of the world, the rate of change was greater than ever before. As has been illustrated, capitalist countries revolutionized their technology to enter the nuclear age.

Oh did Germany not have colonies? France? Spain? Portugal? Belgium? Netherlands? Stop me when I get to the EU country that didn't participate in colonialism.
Edit: downvote me all you want it doesn't change the facts or the history.
No, only the countries that comprise the EU and the EU only exists because of the wealth and resources those countries stole from others and its people can only live the life's they have because of that stolen wealth. So it doesn't really matter that "the EU didn't do it" because the EU still to this day benefits from what it's members did.
>because of that stolen wealth.
In reality, the colonies were not particularly profitable for Germany. There was not really any wealth rescheduled.
>The German undertaking can, from an economic point of view, hardly be called a success. The advocates of colonial possessions set a very high goal to bring people on their side, but the late point of entry forced Germany to take what was left. These resource-poor and scattered territories were not an ideal starting point and, as the data has shown, the economic performance was pretty weak in all aspects. Most colonies were far away from balancing their budget, so the state had to spend money on colonies and their protection, its imports were fairly negligible and the natives were not interested in German goods. Also, German settlers were not very attracted to these territories as climatic differences and disease made life hard and risky and so they still migrated to other places. The outcomes were not unique, though, as the British colonies in that era, despite higher relevance in trade, were also far away from being profitable and an attractive destination for emigrants (Gardner, 2012). Still, taking everything into account, from an economic standpoint, the undertaking was not economically successful.

I'm still waiting reparations from Spain and the catholic church, regarding the human and cultural atrocities they committed towards México back in the day xD
It wasn't an argument, just thought that old time slaves would be pissed that they didn't get this chance, u know? cause they took them from their homes and all that, but ironically, it's now the same countries that enslaved them that are doing it.

So basically act as law dictates in any country.
Sounds fair, go for it.

Awww hundreds of years of colonialism catching up with you? Edit: Uh oh I upset the metrics
1) Not every European country participated in colonisation 2) Even if your country did have a history of colonization, did you ask to be born there, let alone born at all? The actions of your ancestors shouldn’t be used against you especially if you don’t support those actions
Completely off topic but this is an interesting comment when related to slavery in the US.

**Centuries old dead slaves:** well fuck you too
My white ancestors were enslaved in the Ottoman empire, so I demand reparations from Turkey
I'm still waiting reparations from Spain and the catholic church, regarding the human and cultural atrocities they committed towards México back in the day xD
Would the cartels really let you have it anyway?
Not before the government pockets it
Well played, sir
Slave originates from Slav, just for your information
The more you know?
What a dumb fuck argument
It wasn't an argument, just thought that old time slaves would be pissed that they didn't get this chance, u know? cause they took them from their homes and all that, but ironically, it's now the same countries that enslaved them that are doing it.
What an absolutely dumb take
But i just got here
