Dreading this when my sons grow up.

“Hey, society and the media and politicians, institutions have all decided your nature is a problem and that you are assumed guilty, to be viewed with suspicion at all times. Oh and for some reason, you should still want to support this structure with your hard work and taxes, and shut up and never mention it.”

Honestly - I don’t know why I would tell him he should accept this society, why he shouldn’t move to another country and why he should stick around. It isn’t showing any signs of changing.

It sickens me, I don’t believe in my own country anymore.

Taking a victim stance isn't helpful.

Whoever you are and whatever you do, there's always going to be some group that doesn't like you or "your kind". Running away doesn't teach your kids how to face this; it just changes where they'll face it.

You’re right. Our society is rewarding those who claim victimhood above those that overcome which is worrying.

Leaving the country now potentially makes them the target of the anti-expats group.
