It's curious to see how LVO of MacroBusiness seeks to oppose mass immigration. He is highly concerned about not appearing racist and will loosely labels others who oppose mass immigration, like Hanson, as 'racist', 'far right' and 'dog whistling.'
LVO is great in terms of facts and figures; there is no one better. I can understand why he is keen to avoid being called racist/xenophobic himself, because it could affect his business and genuine advocacy. But at the end of the day, one has to ask:
"LVO, on what moral basis do you wish to exclude foreigners from our country's fruits?"
To which, the only answer is personal and in-group/tribal preference -- which to be sure, isn't 'racism' but is interpreted as such by much of the mainstream Left nowadays.
LVO is a crypto-identitarian, even though he would profusely deny the label.
There is no such thing as racism per say, though there is an aspect of some tribalisms that will marginalise and attack someone outside the tribe using skin colour as just one marker of that outsider. e.g. Whiteness and maleness are markers of outsiderness for the morally-righteous tribe of female/trans/POC SJWs.
There are many markers of 'outsiderness' aside from race.
