Thank you

Because status quo politics have successfully been framed within racial and national narratives so that overwhelmingly in the popular consciousness your attitude towards these issues are all that matters. It's wrong and it's ridiculous but it ends up making things feel like you can't oppose the existing order without being racist or hating immigrants etc, not least of all because immigration does create real competition and conflict for most people. I think it's just really hard for people to have the strong feeling that something is wrong but then subject that feeling to nuance and analysis instead of just reacting viscerally to ultimately peripheral symptoms. So you get "the liberal elites are importing low IQ brown people to replace us because theyre easier to control than noble, cultured whites" instead of the correct "capitalism thrives off of crisis, and the ongoing economic and political crises in the third world along with advances in transportation and communication create huge populations that are desperate to leave their countries, and first world governments welcome this influx of migrants because they offer cheap labor and undermine the existing protections for working classes, also conveniantly polarizing opinion in such a way that native poor and working classes distance themselves from leftism now that it becomes implicitly associated with racialist moralism, and the migrant minorities become a fetish for disgruntled natives to project their legitemate problems onto, as well as for the cosmopolitan liberals to ritualistically affirm as innocent and noble." Because it's an appropriately complicated explanation for a complicated world it arouses suspicions of being convoluted and disingenous when it's really the far more consistent explanation.
