It's been an interesting phenomenon increasing over the past few years.

Is it a reflection of more intense xenophobia in society at large, or just a few trolls leading a brigade?

This was the agreed definition as per earlier in the thread.


Well,
Quote:

How it this a belief? Isn't this a fact?
And;

So the terms 'racism' and 'racial discrimination' are interchangable?
