China isn't the UK. If you're born and raised in the UK, you're from the UK.

Crime, even violent crime, isn't the same thing as ethnic cleansing.

You claimed that people who disagree with you support "ethnic cleansing", which they don't, so the analogy works quite well if you don't agree with Aldmeri imperialism.

As I said, people don't trust people they don't know. When they get to know them, trust can be built. One of your sources supports this:
Individuals who regularly talk with their neighbors are less influenced by the racial and ethnic character of their surroundings than people who lack such social interaction. This finding challenges claims about the negative effects of diversity on trust – at least, it suggests that the negative effects so prevalent in existing research can be mediated by social ties.
You're saying (if I understand you correctly) that diversity disrupts social cohesion. This reminds me of an episode of the TV series The West Wing, where a military officer, Major Tate, was saying that gay people shouldn't be allowed in the military because it would disrupt cohesion. His conversation with Admiral Fitzwallace (Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, an African American character) went like this:
- Chairman Fitzwallace: We’re discussing gays in the military, huh?
- Major Thompson: Yes sir.
- Fitzwallace: What do you think? I said, what do you think?
- Thompson: Sir, we’re here to help the White House form a possible -
- Fitzwallace: I know. I’m asking you what you think.
- Major Tate: Sir, we’re not prejudiced toward homosexuals.
- Fitzwallace: You just don’t want to see them serving in the Armed Forces?
- Tate: No, sir, I don’t.
- Fitzwallace: Cause they pose a threat to unit discipline and cohesion.
- Tate: Yes sir.
- Fitzwallace: That’s what I think too. I also think the military wasn’t designed to be an instrument of social change.
- Tate: Yes sir.
- Fitzwallace: The problem with that is that's what they were saying to me fifty years ago. Blacks shouldn’t serve with whites, it would disrupt the unit. You know what? It did disrupt the unit. The unit got over it. The unit changed. I’m an admiral in the U.S. Navy and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Beat that with a stick.

I'm not trying to strawman you. If I misunderstand or misrepresent your view, please explain what your actual view is.

This brings me back to the situation where people compare the deaths by Nazis with the deaths by Communists. We can be against both Nazism and Communism. We can be against both deaths by white nationalists and deaths by immigrant criminals. Being okay with the arrival of a nurse, a video game designer or a teacher from another country isn't a "threat to national security" and it isn't the same thing as supporting immigrant crimes, despite your apparent attempts to conflate the two.
