Not to mention that there's a persistent hatred towards Turks and North Africans in most of Western Europe. Many French will immediately ostracize someone they think might be an Algerian immigrant, for example.

Yeah, Europe is chalk full of DEEP social cleavages.

And fuck, here in Japan the Chinese are generally regarded as rude, dirty, and criminal-minded.
