Certain religions would be a more accurate way to put it than certain races.

Does the UK? Or do some subsection of the UK population?
I know I don't have a problem with Syrian refugees and I would imagine that just one person out 60 something million would be enough to refute your statement.

They have a problem with Europeans coming over as well.

That’s not what rallied Brexit. The right riled up people with “scary” immigration, the same way “scary” Mexican immigration was used by Trump.
But hey, Hong Kongers are “better” immigrants. We can all see through this I hope.

I don’t think it’s wrong to prefer to have educated immigrants over non-educated. One creates wealth and resources and the other drains it. One is more likely to be law abiding and the other less likely. If Wakanda existed I doubt there would be much opposition to letting their citizens immigrate.

I suspect that description applies to a lot of migrants to the UK from the EU - certainly most of the people I know who migrated here from Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy....

That fits Polish immigrants to the UK to a t.
