Again in the spirit of honesty Brillo, my stance towards you has actually softened over time because I have realised that you genuinely don't realise that you're being racist or, in your case accurately, xenophobic. I think it genuinely does come from a place of real fear.

But no; intent is not key. In fact, the vast majority of racism is subconscious, so far from being "key", intent really isn't all that important at all.

Outcome is key.
