Your hypothetical is a personal choice. The other one is about legally limiting the personal choices of other people. This is a bad comparison.

Which country doesn’t positively descriminate for its citizens? That’s more or less the point of them..

one would think so. it is so weird to me that this is called racist and xenophobic by so many people. collective delusion happens all over the spectrum.
