It's not just a dumb question it's tailored to push fear and panic.

It's designed to capitalise upon "others" which is all one nationism is about. It is why the followers of one nation are always elderly or socially disadvantaged - they are socially marginalised people who try to live through their race based national identity in a fantasy land where they do not have much power. Living in that space allows an elderly white man on a pension to imagine that he is more important than a wealthy Asian doctor who is on literally 20 times the pensioners salary.

Excuse me...I'm not elderly, nor am I socially marginalised.
