There is no space for racism in the EU. Or anywhere.

No one should be denied a job, home, or opportunity because of their race or ethnic background.

The EU stands united against racism, for a fairer Union where inclusion and equality are at the centre.

Today, on International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and every day.

@EUCommission "Sometimes" though - but only sometimes ;) - we do keep people out of EU based on their ethnicity, origin, religion.
So yes you are right, there is no place for racism in the EU, we kind of do outsurce the racism to our borders.
So we make more than a equilibrium in not tolerating racism inside, consequently implementig it outside.
We are living the EU-racism-yin-yang so to say.
@sylvanmartiset @EUCommission not sure what you wish to achieve with your cynicism. But people arriving on boats to Europe are entitled to request asylum and many do get it (some don't, because they're not in a situation where it's justified). There is no discrimination based on race, but non Europeans whichever the color they have, need to follow specific procedures in order to be able to work in the EU (just like literally in every other country on earth). Hope this helps.
@bossito @EUCommission only that, someone from Canada, US any "western" country, you name it, can get into the EU, and people from non first-world countries often can't.
So what is it if not discrimination by origin? Poking the finger into EU hypocrisy is what I wanted to achieve with my sarcasm, wouldnt o so far to call it synicism 😉
@sylvanmartiset @EUCommission people from Canada or US, white or black, can visit the EU without a visa. Me, a EU citizen, need a visa to visit Angola, Algeria or China. Each country is sovereign to decide which nationalities require or not a visa, frequently on a reciprocity basis. No country has zero entry restrictions. Hope this helps, but I'm losing my hope on you.. this is quite basic real world stuff.
