It doesn't work like that, unless all immigrants came from the same place, as a homogenous group.
I know, some immigrants are just as xenophobic as the "original" inhabitants of their new home (e.g. my mom), but never in the same way as it was in their former country.
But emigrating in itself means a desire for change; a desire to change.
I think it's a good gotcha. It says: what are you really afraid of? That you're going to be treated just as badly as you are treating minorities?
That's what this is about, not any hypothetical future situation where $MINORITY becomes the majority. That's just thinking in the same terms of paranoia the xenophobes are thinking in.
