LETTER: 04.04.16

Last week, while flipping through a copy of the News, a cheap blockbuster-like headline “Europe has fallen” (April 1) caught my attention. As a sociologist who has been working with migrants in the Central European region, I have first-hand experience not only with the topic Shaoyan Liang is elaborating on but also with endless discussions with a variety of people ranging from leftist activists to right-wing xenophobes. I was therefore not surprised to see Liang’s arguments, embodying the most stereotypical assumptions we have all heard a thousand times. I was rather astonished that the News amplified such narrow-minded ideas across the campus.
