This debate 'but you are not English' reminds me of a discussion i overheard last year on a ship tour on the danube
There were some teenagers and a older german or dutch woman the teenagers were from vienna and of migrant origins one said he is austrian the older dutch woman said but you dont look like a austrian and he said in my heart im one


If now a immigrant happens to look austrian or like majority he wont face the same but technically why does it matter how someone looks?

Looks matter because, "looks" have a track record. If you saw a golden retriever coming up to you who waqs off of its leash and no owner was around, you wouldnt be scared of it. Now replace that golden retriever with a pitbull and tell me that you wouldnt be a little concerned.

Brown skin migrants have a well documented history of violence and inappropriate behavior in public. They are foreigners who dont have the same skin in the game as the locals. Foreign illegal immigrants dont have to worry about being shamed by the locals who grew up with them their entire lives, they dont have obligations to a family as a provider, they have nothing to lose, and that makes them much more dangerous than a local.

Consider that almost every country on earth is comprised of a particular racial/ethnic group on a particular plot of land. There are "interesting" regions where an ethnic group does not have its own country (e.g., the Kurds in the Middle East), but the norm is a geographical region and a particular ethnic group.

America and Canada are exceptions to this general principle, and are comprised of a wide variety of ethnic and racial elements. As a result, one would never hear spoken a statement like, "You don't look like an American" (except in reference to American clothing...baseball caps for example). But in other countries such an observation is completely tenable. If you see an Asian, or a Mexican, or Ethiopian in, say, Austria, claiming to be an "Austrian," raised eyebrows would be a predictable response, even if the assertion is legally truthful.

Because young children will sometimes get scared of people who look different. You go to China, one in five babies will cry if you go near you. One in two will look at you suspiciously.

It's one of the first things we learn as human beings.

Humans rely on eyesight for a number of biological reasons. This includes recognition of family and tribe members. Your post seemed to suggest that lack of such recognition is a cultural defect.
