In turn, the austerity measures that followed the financial crisis of 2011 exacerbated the anti immigrant sentiment leading to a rise of racist rhetoric in \u201cthe common people\u201d.<\/p>\n<p name=\"c878\" id=\"c878\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Bullshit. All of it.<\/p>\n<p name=\"834a\" id=\"834a\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">What these media narratives tend to do is obfuscate the reality of ingrained, unaddressed racism across the continent. The never acknowledged and redressed centuries of colonial interventions; the legacy of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the wealth that it created and\/or transferred to the continent; the historically more recent corporate interventions in the Global South that deplete local resources at the expense of European wealth. All of these and more have created a culture of European racial superiority and sense of entitlement over the \u201cOther\u201d which, in contemporary terms, reached its peak in WW2. The underlying sentiments never really went away.<\/p>\n<p name=\"c088\" id=\"c088\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Now, with a combination of Brexit political analysis and a number of elections coming up in the next year across Europe, media repeats this like it is a novel idea: <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">the racist far right is on the rise<\/em>. A cursory look at recent history proves that this nonsense is a vapid and empty repetition of what has been said for at least 20 years.
