We have huge numbers of people who talk about policies for others yet are complete nimbys if those polices ever seriously have a chance of affecting them personally.

Most of them are clueless virtue signalers who are all about warm words as long as it doesn't come with personal commitment.

I would say it's racist

Playing a group of people off against another like there's a choice between one or the other and 1 is more deserving even using the fact some people may or may not have served in the forces, and providing no specific examples or evidence, just generalisations

Actually I don’t think racism has anything to do with this. From what she said the dust bowl migrants wouldn’t have been welcomed in California either.

Would you call someone who drives a race-car for a living a "racist"?
I don't know like say Lewis Hamilton?

Or someone who is colour blind

People often use the term racist when they mean "placist".

A group of white people move into a local white area buying up properties the locals cannot afford. The locals resent the influx of outsiders because their kids cannot afford to live their and have to move away. So over time the area changes and the older locals bemoan "its not like it used to be". That is placist.

Same scenario only the people moving in are non white so now the locals are branded as racists.

It is very human to resent large scale change in the area you grow up in, nothing to do with being a racist.
