I don't know why you're being accused of racism, as (judging from this article) that is obviously unfair and unjustified. My takeaway after fully reading your article on my phone and deciding to make this comment via desktop is: 1. You didn't really tackle his criticisms. Umair in his article wasn't forced on the refugee crisis, but on economics. You didn't really go into his actual criticisms; for example, saying Brown is a low-rated Prime Minister doesn't make Umair a liar for citing him and what the erstwhile Prime Minister did indeed say. At best, you could argue bias, but that isn't lying. 2. This seems to focus only on the refugee crisis and seems to be evoking a place of fear of a refugee crisis and anger at the EU's incompetence. The latter is fair enough, but that has nothing to do with Umair's criticisms from a contemporary economic standpoint. You'd be better served talking about how the refugee crisis impacted the economy because nothing here actually refutes anything Umair said at all. I'm mostly just confused why you accused him of being a liar and then failed to repudiate any of his arguments.
