There’s nothing inconsistent about that—it’s about individuals versus large scale migration of people from a different culture. I’m south Asian. I’d way rather go to a south Asian wedding than a white American wedding. But I’d not want to live in a town run by people from South Asia.
I encounter this personally. Family knows the owner of a construction company and almond orchard. They absolutely love the immigrants who cheaply tend to the trees or nail in trusses, he calls them the “good ones”, yet immigration is ruining the country and we need a border wall to keep it safe.
It’s about enough to make me lose hope for humanity.
