It's good to remember every now and then that while the most inflammatory aspect of Britain's migration issue is Muslim migrants from Syria or Africa, the actual target of those who favored Brexit was the Christian migrants from Poland and other low-paying eastern European countries.
As Bill Clinton said "It's the economy stupid", there is one big difference you fail to include in Your analysis though. The polish migrant workers are for the vast majority very short term workers who obey the laws, does not engage in criminal activities and are loved by their host country employers
(who rank from very small business to huge corporations) and integrate well during their stay here because they are respectful of our customs and those that decide to stay integrate as Norwegians. They even exploit the welfare system in the same manor as Norwegians do.
I have a Nigerian friend in Lagos, and he showed me Pictures of the villa and brand new car his cousin acquired just by allegedly "begging" in front of supermarkets in Italy. As these news make it to the mainstream just like the fact that Romanian gypsy gangs exploit Norwegians with drugs, robbery and home invasions to build illegal villas in Romania it creates a reaction.
It's true the polish migrants do the same with the money they make they send it back as remittances instead of spending it in Norway which would otherwise been adding to the velocity of money creating demand for jobs/services in the host country, the difference is Polish migrants does it legally and learn their host country language. There are no anti polish ethnic worker hate groups, only economically focused advocacy groups which forced the government last year to make Norwegian employers pay Norwegian tariff salary and all employer taxes for hiring foreign workers which levels the playing field between migrant workers and host country unemployed.
If I understand your statement correctly you are saying British people are more concerned about Polish workers and therefore ethnic violence with Christian Polish workers is more likely than Mohammedan sub Saharans or Middle Easterners. This I do not think that is true based on there is no ethnic animosity against polish workers, but there is ethnic animosity against Mohammedans of all races. The conclusion I think is that people do not care about ethnicity or religion as much as they do work and being able to supply for their families, at least in the short term when things are mostly stable.
