I’m Italian, and I’m quite active and vocal in my opposition to mass immigration. What I noticed is that more and more people are openly anti mass immigration— even on the net, people have absolutely no fear of openly attacking this sort of policy and very little fear of being considered racists. I can take a walk and hear people complain about this absurdity. I’d bet good money that reasonable people are the majority. This changes absolutely nothing, those in power are completely uncaring of what people think, they just accuse opponents of being “scared of change”* and proceed right on. At least after months of ferocious indignation we managed to get Kyenge (the gary coleman lookalike congolese Minister) out of the Government, we’ll see what the future holds. The feeling is that more and more people are getting seriously pissed off. And I live in Northern Italy, southerners are genetically predisposed to violent and virulent racism and feel very little need to conform to politically correct thoughts (though they use the immigrants as slaves and they get beaten by the various mafias if they cause problems)
