I agree with all of those points but the problem will persist until whatever makes people racist ends. Be that dog whistle politicians, tabloid newspapers or anyone else who readily incites racism and xenophobia but carefully enough to not commit a crime themselves.

Only this morning I saw a trope shared on Twitter about refugees coming over here for houses while there’s homeless ex-servicemen on the streets. The two ultimately aren’t linked - the lack of support for ex-servicemen who wind up homeless is a political choice.
