I will just add that in my own country, the so-called White Australia Policy from Federation in 1901 to WW2 was in fact more of a British Australia Policy, giving explicit favour to migrants from the UK (which carried on into the 60s with 'ten pound poms' like my grandparents). Then after WW2 and the percieved dangers of an underpopulated Australia vs the Yellow Peril, continental Northern European immigration was encouraged, then Southern European immigration in the 50s and 60s. Then with the policy of Multiculturalism in the 70s the floodgates to Asia opened with the Vietnamese refugees. Now we have African immigration (Sudanese and Somalians) since the late 90s and the Asians suddenly don't seem so bad to many people. Although Middle Eastern Muslims despite being racially closer than Orientals are more unpopular. Probably Europeans would be far more amenable to Middle Easterners if they weren't overwhelmingly of that accursed creed.
