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.

I still think the strategy is the same regardless of who it is. Ask them what is to be done? Do they want police kicking in the doors of apartment buildings searching for immigrants? Make them confront the reality of what they want.

If any of my family members said something heinous and racist my fist response would probably be "shut the fuck up." So I have to commend the fact you at least have patience with your family.
