European native informers serve local anti-immigrant racism rather than US imperial aims.

Evidence

All the native informers I discuss in this book are of Muslim origin. They have all also consistently denigrated Islam, in both its cultural and religious aspects. While the context in the United States is American imperialism, in Europe it is racist indignation and legalized prejudice against Muslim immigrant communities—South Asians in the United Kingdom, North Africans in France, Turks in Germany, Iraqis and Palestinians in the Scandinavian countries. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 102
