Turkey's still a bit like the Wild West.
It's not merely xenophobia on the part of the EU. It's whatever the name is of the condition that makes people fear change. As I understand it, the majority of churches near London have become Masques, and the influx of immigrants do pose a threat to some traditional styles of living that gives Europe it's strength. It's also what critics of the wacky Euro dollar threatened would happen. If you open the doors to "outsiders" then the fears aren't simply racial alone. It's a really white liberal one track way of viewing the situation. Everything comes back to race? If a huge population from Asia intended to flood Australia, then wouldn't it be an issue of over population and immigration laws rather then race? Immigrant aren't always a racial minority, or oppressed people, and the issues concerning them shouldn't always be viewed as such. It's scary that American's can't seperate the two when talking about the subject.
