I don't know Hungary well enough to have an opinion. But I don't see that a country must desire to make itself a racially mixed entity.

The US isn't a shining example of how mass-scale racial mixing can work to produce a happy country. I tend to be interested in what works, and not so much what one might think is right or ideal.

Orban may say - there's another country we don't want to model ourself on. I don't know.

But personally, I rather like the gradual mixing in of people with varied ethnicities. The key point is gradual, because the history of tension in these things when they are large scale is something of a theme in human history. It doesn't always end well, whatever we might desire to be true.

Hungary Prime Minister’s Adviser Resigns After Race Speech Likened to Nazi Propaganda

A key adviser to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has resigned after the nationalist leader made a speech bemoaning people becoming “mixed race.” Zsuzsa Hegedus stepped down after Orban made an address in Romania on Saturday in which he said European peoples should be allowed to mix with each other, but that mixing with non-European people would lead to a “mixed-race world.” “We are willing to mix with one another, but we do not want to become peoples of mixed race,” Orban said. His spokesperson said the press had misrepresented the remarks. Despite Orban’s anti-immigration politics being well-documented, Hegedus said she could not continue serving in his inner circle after the speech. “I don’t know how you didn’t notice that the speech you delivered is a purely Nazi diatribe worthy of Joseph Goebbels,” she wrote in a resignation letter, referring to Hitler’s propaganda chief, according to the Hungarian news website hvg.hu.
