The likely explanation for people being out of touch for a

Was he even serious? Sounded ironic to me, people who think
like that around here in Canada are laughed at because we all
immigrated 200-300 years ago :)
It was a throwaway comment, no doubt, but the situation is too
dangerous to let silly comments slide by without a mention -
these things snowball. I'm sure there are plenty of problems
with immigrants but blaming them for everything leads to an
exaggerated xenophobia and the real problems are pushed to one
side.
Maybe one day Muslims will have their Martin Luther King,
although I doubt the situation is so dire
