RE: What is so wrong with imigrants?
Um...I think in that case the issue would actually be the people that are so delusional they don't see them as people anymore...since they are...you know...people.

Well that's the thing. They might see them "kind of people, but not real people". It can be spiced up with anything people want.
"If god would have meant them to be our equals, they'd be white too."
"Well we're the chosen people of Allah, so those others are just empty shells without souls."
"Because of their genes are slightly different than ours, we shouldn't really count them like humans like us."
Or the simple way is just to brand them only with negative traits, to make people see them as "human monsters". Just like in war propaganda, if you've branded the enemy as a baby-eating rapist, it's easy for a soldier to shoot him without remorse.
Thank you, I totally needed to think about how all these different people are fucking racist and horrible people today...except...are they really people when they think like that?
Most people who have racist thought don't think others as less humans.
Most of people who could be called racist might still have generally neutral approach to immigrants.
But on the other hand, there are many racists who actually think some people are less human than others.
It happens on other things too, not only with racism and immigrants, but with most of major world view differences.
