    In the UK we call it the racist taxi driver phenomenon. A lot of taxi drivers in the UK are Muslim, and came over to the UK in the 70s and 80s. Now they are dead against immigration and want to pull the ladder up after themselves. Also when you get in the taxi they tell you all about this.

    They rationalise it in their heads as, it’s not racism, it’s just prudent immigration policy.

    South Africa has the same problem, racist Africans been racist about people of their own ethnicity. I’m sure there’s some deep and meaningful cultural difference between the two groups, but you’d have to be African to know about it.
