Why aren't THESE anti-migrant protests “Far Right”? (Leo Kearse)

Zulu warriors have been protesting on the streets of South Africa. Not because Zulu isn't shown on TV at Christmas anymore. No, these Zulus are angry about mass immigration into their country. They've taken to the streets with shields and spears, smashed up migrant-owned businesses, and attacked migrant residences.

What's interesting is how these riots are written up by the BBC compared with our homegrown ones. The BBC is very respectful of the South African rioters, mentioning "isolated incidents of looting" and casually mentioning the 60 deaths in a previous riot.

Whereas the Southport rioters were condemned as evil racist far-right thugs, and today's migrant hotel protesters are "extremists" with "pure anger and hatred".

I mean, if Africans don't like Africans migrating into their country, maybe we could cut British anti-migrant protestors some slack?



It's not necessarily about race, it's about displacement by a foreign culture. If mass migration is not ok outside of the West, then it isn't okay inside of Western countries.
