@zeynep everywhere in EU? What does 'EU doesn't map onto US race relations' mean?
@FESMontemaggi And a punted, bungled response is further encouraging the other undercurrent, based on racism & fear, to get stronger. /end

@zeynep e.g. forced austerity on Italy & Greece, who receive really desperate migrants on boats (not EU professionals like UK gets) ...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@zeynep racism is everywhere & crises (economic, war...) play on fears. Things shldn't be bundled together but EU had terrorist attacks...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@zeynep many refugees come from countries at war in ME, so some people are also afraid of terrorism. It's normal, point is to tackle it... -
@FESMontemaggi Europe's terrorism was home-grown, Islamic or Breivik type. As for austerity, yep more failure of leadership.

@zeynep if EU were more unified, things wouldn't be as desperate. Nothing is impossible or inevitable or inherent, all is complex. My point.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
