In the United States, decrying interracial relationships is an artifact from the bygone era of Jim Crow. Hungary, on the other hand, is behind the curve.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban railed against “race-mixing” while in Romania on Saturday. “We [Hungarians] are not a mixed race, and we do not want to become a mixed race either,” Orban said. In his eyes, the West is split in two. Half of these countries “are no longer nations” because of the intermingling between European and non-European populations.
