How do you respond to these reactionary questions? (lemmygrad.ml)

When reactionaries say: "Why do we always have to put ourselves and our cultures last by not serving pork in school canteens because of muslims or allowing underage girls to wear a hijab in school, to let their families oppress them? Why do we let people immigrants live off our government benefits when they haven't paid a single euro in taxes before they came here?"

How do you respond to it? I honestly don't know because these thoughts are so stupid they never even cross my mind so I never thought about it much.

In my experience there is no response that will land. People that say these kind of things just need someone to look down on, typically a racialized group they have been told to feel slighted by.
