And as for the gender divide of people migrating to the EU, the United Nations refugee agency says that just over half are Syrians, followed by smaller groups from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq and elsewhere.

What I'm arguing is xenophobic is the generalisation that they're all rapists and terrorists. There is a growing number of people who desperately want this accidents to happen so it gives them the excuse to express their hatred and sometimes violence.
