instance of this tic in the discourse i've noted before: i have no idea why it should be regarded as facially ridiculous to think that ~20% of germans have racist attitudes. my casual observation of contemporary society does not at all encourage the belief that racism is vanishingly rare

The problem, I think, is that we've stretched the definition of racism and bigotry to include any concern about migration.

A lot of voters may not themselves be racist, but will vote for a racist party if it's the only one that will address those concerns. It's those people we need to understand.
