Interesting to hear that the immigration extremists in Italy used passably white children in their election propaganda. I haven't heard anyone else point out something I've noticed in recent years: anecdotally, there has definitely been an uptick in large overseas charities using passably white, or maybe racially ambiguous children with curly white-blonde hair, in their ads. Gone are the days of Nubian dark children with flies in their eyes being used on the posters.

What a tacit admission! They understand human nature, they just want to change it.

A year ago, I was berating a local politician for using the term 'refugee' on her leaflet when she meant 'asylum seeker'. She conflated the phrases to pull on Europeans' oversized heart-strings. Long story short - she basically said that she thinks people are too dumb to understand and they need her guidance. A Welsh Labour candidate in Britain told me the exact same thing. These Italian leftists seem no different and are aware they are misrepresenting.
