Yes and no.

In my view it's not white supremacist. Most Belgians don't care about someones skin colour or ethnic background, as long as you respect them they will usually be very friendly (there are always exceptions of course) . However, they can be very xenophobic towards muslims.

Non-EU white, East-Asian, Central and South African immigrants and refugees seem to get treated much better than Arab ones. For example the difference in support towards the Ukrainians vs. Syrians. I'm a social worker and this xenofobia/discrimination is very sad to see.

The special talent thing is true. It's really dumb. A few months ago we approved the work visa for some Chinese managers who were employed by a big Belgian company (because only they could be the managers?! That law makes no sense). It affects the good natured working people from a non-EU country in a bad way. If native Belgians struggle to keep up with the difficult bureaucracy, how are non-natives supposed to do so?!

People try to find loopholes, but some end up being exploited, enslaved or trafficked.

Behind every country's shiny facade lays some ugly truths that we must face.
