It’s fine, but she’s saying I only want to support people I love so I don’t want to support foreigners. The implication being she cannot love anyone if they are a foreigner. Which is kind of a racist position.. but even if we give that the benefit of the doubt. Okay we can’t say who anyone should or shouldn’t love.. but then maybe we can think of some cases of people we couldn’t love, but still deserve to receive support of the society they live in. (Like we might be disgusted by the thought of two very fat ugly people having sex, but our reaction to that doesn’t make it morally wrong) We might have no interest in sports or traditional music, but even if we don’t love it we can support it, or I might not personally have any people close to me in wheel chairs but it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t support accessibility policies. This is what I mean that it’s racism pretending not to be. It’s a politics of exclusion basses on racial prejudice, just with one more node on the causation graph.
