I understand what you're saying and I think this is what happened in Denmark, but I disagree.

We just can't normalize xenophobia. My partner and I are of different nationalities and races and we've both been immigrants. Our future kids will be mixed race and might seem foreign regardless of where they live.

I don't want to live in a society in which we normalize hatred for immigrants. I want everyone to feel welcome, I want everyone to feel like they belong.

Of course with left-leaning parties this small many foreigners already feel unwelcome, but if even left-leaning parties start with this hateful rhetoric... I would lose all hope and probably just leave. I wouldn't feel safe to live here with my family.
