Is European Union racist ?

Question

European Union will have 2 new members since 1st january 2007.
Thats Romania and Bulgaria.
Now i see all kinds of advertising about European Union being something that protects enviroment, says yes to gay marriages, is against racism and child abuse.

Theres a rule in UK about romanian and bulgarian people that go to their country to work.
It says that if a company wants to hire a romanian or bulgarian, that company will have to proove that they couldnt replace the person with an englishman!
Excuse me!Thats outrageous!Its pure racism people!

If all countries inside European Union are racist, then why does EU act like they arent?

I see some people say its nothing wrong cause the country wants their own people to have jobs.
Why dont they do same things with german, french, american or other people?
Why only with romanians and bulgarians?

Answer 1

"An elephant has differnet teeth to show and different to eat".
So i guess tht every developed country is racist. For the EU its a group of racists.
I dont understand on wht base could romania and bulgaria join the EU in 2007 but Turkey being far more developed in every aspect has to wait. Here the EU is racist coz Turkey is a country with muslim majority and although Turkey has done everything to please the EU they still have to wait. Turkey is different from other muslim countries. Its more westernized thn muslimized, Its like any other european or western country.Therz lot of corruption, discrimination and poverty in Romania and Bulgaria.
Secondly although EU agreed to join hands with Romania and Bulgaria, they never supported these countries like they did with other members. They accepted to join them in EU but with a lot of criticism from many EU members for a long time.
UK is a member of the EU but still uses its own currency and its own rules n regulations.
Spain send back a lot of romanians back from its borders and a spanish group even made a song showing romanins as low level people.
European Union is a union without unity. They are just trying to create a second block against america and a second cold war i guess has already started so they are doing the same as Americans. Peacekeepers on the outside but racist killers in the inside.

Answer 2

NOT all countries within the EU are racist. However, when you push people so far, there will be backlash and that is happening in the form of racial tension in England (which is where i'm from).

The word 'racism' is bandied around so much these days that it has become unable to shock or bother people and that's dangerous.

I have little problem with people from the new EU countries coming here. To a large extent they fill jobs that a lot of English people don't want to do so I'm not sure how much of a problem this ruling will create but I disagree that the legislation is racist. Racism is believing your race is superior to others. Ensuring British citizens are in work (those who want to be anyway) should come before welcoming economic migrants from other countries and is just common sense.

Answer 3

In a way, everybody is, my friend. And the USA are one of the most racist nations in the world. That is a fact. Now, I don't see anything wrong with a country protecting its people's job opportunities. That is another thing.

Answer 4

is really uk part of the european union ?
As a french i doubt ! (no euro currencies, all king of strang rules like the one you wrote...)

Again don't think that the french think all the same way, that the europeans thinks all the same way,...etc.

Answer 5

nicely Europe is infatuated with super history! i replaced into born in Germany and that i will't think of of one reason to disrespect Europe or dislike it. it is so eye-catching and the individuals are so friendly. plenty greater effective than The U.S. Cheers! :D x

Answer 6

Maybe they'd prefer to support their own country? Not everything is racist, just logical, if you think about it.
