2010 Badge Placement For Brownies

racist or unreasonable?

Talking to different people, it is easy to see that for many the disappointment of observing misconduct, dishonest or even criminal from non-EU citizens face in their rise to a feeling of real racism.
The fateful phrase you hear to pronounce is as follows: "In the face of certain behaviors, how can you not be racist?"
And the answer, when it is confirmed, and the like, "But even among them there is good people ...".
What leaves me baffled and, ultimately, disgusts me, is just the kind of logic used.
Considering, in fact, that a presence so notable of immigrants in Italy is a phenomenon that affects us from just a decade (at least in areas where I live), if I use the same reasoning applied to my previous experiences, I would hate for the same principle, all Italian, from members of my family.
This is paradoxical. We are therefore, in my view, unreasonable.
In the end, we are not able to distinguish good from evil, but only white from black.
We are not able to realize that someone cares about every day to build his fortune on our ruin: the politicians, banks, insurance companies, the "social climbers". All of these people, thanks to us (which we intent to build reasoning completely useless as what I mentioned above) get our approval and our admiration or our indifference or our liabilities.
