Not saying that somewhere in there, a legitimate argument about the reduction in overall quality of candidates doesn't exist, but it does smell a bit of having a strong bias against minorities and foreigners. There is such a thing as confirmation bias, where a person interprets a situation through a negative ideology about others not of their ethnic group and where they are in a position to execute an agenda based on those beliefs.
