Racist rhetoric shifts from 'go back' to 'deport'
Original: Racists used to say ‘Go back where you come from’. Now they exclaim ‘Deport!’
A Guardian column argues that anti-immigrant racism has changed its language: where bigots once shouted 'go back where you come from', the common demand now is 'deport'. The piece suggests this reflects a shift from informal abuse to language echoing state enforcement, normalising expulsion as an everyday response to migrants and minorities.
Why now: The claim is being debated as part of wider public argument over immigration language and enforcement.
