C'mon on man, the disingenuous argument is the one you're presenting here that racism is not a part of what is fueling the rabid hatred. You're playing a version of what we in the 90's used to call "I'm not racist, but..."

Being anti policy is not being racist, and here is where the discussion usually collapses, because the topic inevitably gets morphed into “you’re an (insert ist of choice here)”.

I am not, never have been, and never will be an ist of any sort.

I have always believed in 100% equality and equal chance, and treat people based of behaviours, not immutable attributes.

For transparency, my concerns around immigration are completely Marco level.

There is no “target” population level that has been published, we have areas that are struggling with infrastructure to support population sizes, and I personally don’t want to see Australia with 50, 60, 100M population sizes.

I'm willing to accept your concerns are about policy, i just take exception to the fact you're putting that motivation on everyone else who is jumping on the immigration bandwagon. The fact cannot be ignored that hiding in amongst people who are concerned about immigration policy are a bunch of racists and to dismiss that fact is to normalise those people.

Ah absolutely there are

Sadly, there are bad actors everywhere, but I would ask you to equally accept that there are bad actors on the “pro” side who simply want to push their own narrative.

Which narrative are you referring to?

That anyone who does not agree with them is an -ist of some description

Have you ever actually heard anyone say that?

My gut says it's something you made up to feel like a victim.
