The logic, is why take the chance? If 25-30% of a population are racist and ignorant enough to shout "Send Them Back", or whatever, encouraged by the President of the day, the chances of them being emboldened to attack a person who's skin colour does not match their stereotype gets higher. There are many better and safer places to travel to!
