The rape/murder argument is just an excuse to get normies to hate browns because it makes racism look defensive, which makes it more palatable.
Luckily for racists the browns are indeed overrepresented in crime, however even the non-violent browns, like Filipinos, get targeted (in Eastern Europe and Northern Ireland recently).
Of course anti-immigration sentiment would still exist if it were only law-abiding browns like Filipinos immigrating. It's about skin color, but on a deeper level it's because demographic change in general is alienating and uncomfortable. But you can't just say that outright because I guess it sounds shallow or something, so you have to point out the secondary negative effects of immigration like crime, housing prices, falling wages, national security etc.
