It was Europe's failure to appreciate its own racial peril, especially from Islam, which its long history, eg The Crusades, etc., the expulsion from Iberia 1492, and the bitter history of other civilizations also bordering on Islam, eg Mughal India, had told it very plainly that islam had been and would indefinitely continue to bea threat to European civilization, since the early middle ages.
The backlash from Hindu and negro migration into Europe was equally predictable, and about which Europe has done little.
The British Isles and France are both filled now with all different populations of color, none of them getting along, most all of them poor or very employable, and neither Britain nor France were countries where they had ever had slavery within their borders, as I recall.
Sally Hemings joined Jefferson in France, where she could have been and remained free. She chose not. The negroes Lincoln confronted in the White House with an offer of free transoportation elsewhere flipped him a bird. Smart negroes.
All of these groups are migrants, refuges, green card residents, and former colonials allowed to enter, not former slaves.
