These sort of posts invite this sort of people.

And if you look at many of those posting they are either very recently created accounts or rarely contribute.

I looked at a bunch and found many of them were established HN users with four-digit karma.

it's just a way to wishy-washy other people opinions because they disagree with what they have to say. I personally don't like these kind of discussions in HN, most are personal opinions and rarely backed up by statistics or official sources.

Yes because many is not the same as all.

This place is full of those people, and the rule seems to be that you can be as racist as you want as long as you're genteel about it and don't actively start dropping slurs.

It's not xenophobia to point out that a nation's migration policy is failing, when it obviously is. It's a systemic issue, not some cultures or people being better or worse.

It is an issue of some cultures being objectively worse. Many immigrants come from places where the rights of women are not respected, and surprise surprise, the incidence of rape has gone up by 50% between 2008 and 2018, and first/second gen immigrants now comprise 60% of rapists in Sweden.
