The fact I was told I had been reported by the Moderator seems to back up my assumptions and pi$$es on your theory.

Didn't say you had?

No. Do you make any distinction at all between members, or are we all just one great incomprehensible Not Shep category to you?

Oh dear, someone else who is incapable of discussing immigration without squawking 'racism'.

Bingo.
Anti-immigration sentiment in the UK is substantially motivated by racism. There's a lot of racism here, and over the road on CC. We remain a very racist society. I typed all of that without a single squawk.

To pinch the words of John McEnroe, You Cannot be Serious.
Racism is absolutely baked into a massive proportion of commentary on immigration in general and those crossing the channel in small boats in particular. Our nudist friend over on the old NACA is but one example.
Have you yet found time to view the RNLI 'fly on the wall' I hi-lighted for you upthread?
The racists were out jeering from the harbour wall when the lifeboat returned to Eastbourne with rescued migrants.

It is possible to have a view on immigration while at the same time not being a racist.
However, too often anyone who expresses a view calling for stricter controls is labelled a racist.
As has happened in this thread.

Most of us (and I include both myself and yourself in that, though based on different pieces of evidence) have racist biases and assumptions. Which does make it a bit of a stretch to conclude that a person's views on immigration are ever completely divorced from their views on race.
And, specifically, racists generally do want stricter controls on immigration. If someone who is trying to be non-racist finds themselves in the same camp as pretty well every racist going, they might question whether that is indeed the right camp to be in.
(That's a principle I apply to myself in a different area, where my thoughts on transgender issues put me in the same camp as some pretty nasty people, and I therefore ask myself whether the reasons I articulate to myself for having those thoughts are actually honest and whether that is the right set of thoughts to hold.)
