There is nothing racist about selecting new members for likelihood of being productive. So like I said before, selecting for education, job experience, willingness to be part of our society and culture, willingness to learn our language. Btw: do you believe that sexual selection is racist? Because it works exactly the same way. Maybe it would be better if Socialists and Liberals take that choice away from us and make sure we are not racist by allocating sexual partners to each one of us? Or how about companies? Don't they hire along the same lines? Education, job experience, proficiency in local language. Are companies racist if they don't hire a guy from Afghanistan who can't read and whose only job before was herding sheep?

Actually, almost every society does accept people without selecting them, if they are born there with citizenship. People born in the UK don't have to take some sort of test to stay in the UK, they don't have to prove that they are more productive and more integrated into society than an immigrant, they have the right to stay regardless.

  This is because they will go through mandatory schooling (if they don't the kids will be taken away from the parents) which provides ample time for socialisation into our society and learning our rules, customs, culture and language. At least if our school system isn't a total failure like it already is in some areas. Now imagine how well some guy will fit that comes here in his thirties only knowing Sharia law, cruel physical punishment and who is used to subjugate women by force if necessary. It is not his skin color or genes that will likely cause him to be a problem in our society, it is the culture he grew up in that had him internalise these rules as being the just way to live your life. Edit: And of course local people are privileged in this regard. Why shouldn't they? They were most likely raised by citizens who paid taxes and worked on improving their society. It would be kind of crazy to then forcefully send their children away.
