Where's the racism?

He who smelt it dealt it.

Everyone is happy to support the white refugees from Ukraine, that's not political, is being a decent human being innit. Brown refugees on the other hand...

Alright @albion, back it up.

It is much the same as when Trump aimed to remove refugee status from all Palestinians by defunding UNRWA.
He was supporting Israel at the time and drew Palestinian charities into being solely political.

Mods simply did a gut reaction without thinking. Nothing unusual there.

That's an unreal bit of mental gymnastics you've done to reach that parallel.

Chapeau!

Implicit bias isn't racism.

Why isn't Israel treated like Russia at the Olympics?

And by extension, why aren't Palestinians treated like Ukrainians were?

Now see this actually makes sense.

I was surprised you hadn't caught the meaning.

Not saying it is my view, or, that I agree with it, but, I would have thought the answer is pretty clear, and, the colour of their faces makes only a marginal difference.

 

[AndyRM]

This probably deserves its own thread to be honest, but I think there's a very real possibility of some kind of attack at the Olympics.

There are going to be 45,000 gendarmes and other security forces present, and they don't fanny about.
