Anti-immigration protesters clash with First Nations people

That's either some exetremely ignorant anti-protestors, or some shitty journalism. I suspect the latter.

    What? Does learning that xenophobes are racist in general come as a surprise to you??

    Didn't some neo-nazis go straight from an anti-immigration rally to attacking indigenous people last year?

    Like we all know who is behind the anti-immigration protests. It isn't the environmentalists concerned about unsustainable resource exploitation who might respect indigenous people and culture. If it was the protests wouldn't get so much positive coverage in the media.

    Anti-immigration is the acceptable mask of white supremacy at the moment. When they have power the mask will come fully off but you would have to be willfully blind to not see they are the same people. The media messaging is all about downplaying the racism and anti-democratic aspects of the movement to make it more broadly popular.
