If white people should support immigration because it is good for white people than doesn’t than mean you are making an argument that is racist and white supremacist? Because usually Europeans who oppose non-European immigration are the ones called racist and white supremacist. Why is it ok to support immigration by highlighting the ways it is good for white people but bad to oppose it by highlighting the ways it is bad for white people?

You have misunderstood what I said. It is good to support it by highlighting the ways it is good and stupid to oppose it by letting your racist antipathy to Asians get in the way of supporting something that is good for you and instead end up spending money for other countries to benefit. Having an opinion on Asian immigration policy isn't inherently racist. Racism can influence opinions in a way that leads to bad policy.

  Do you admit the mere possibility of being wrong about immigration being good for white Americans and promise to come to the defense of those who are called racist for arguing it is not?

    I'd certainly support them if they are not racist. Are you willing to admit that most of the people who are against immigration of educated non-white young people from Asia are doing so because they are racist?

      What argument can a white person make against immigration that you personally would consider to not be racist? If you deny any exist then you are just attacking people for being white and disagreeing with what you think is good for them.

        If a nonwhite person made the same argument, they would be as stupid as the white person making that argument. If only white people make an argument, that is a good clue that the argument is probably racist. To answer your question, I have to evaluate each argument separately for stupidity or racism. An example stupid argument is that it depresses wages for people who are already here. An example racist argument calls out educated non-white immigration in particular.

        If everyone in Germany agreed the jews should be kicked out and only jews disagreed then by your logic that would mean those jews are just a bunch of racists. I disagree with you and await your list of caveats and exceptions designed to specifically deny white people the ability to stand up for themselves. Irsaeel doesn’t allow non-jewish immigration. Is that because jews are racist? Immigration is so bad for white people the only reason to support it is if you personally benefit (understandable) or you hate white people (unacceptable). So which one is it in your case?
