This is fucking horrifying, but are we surprised? Here is a twitter thread that goes over the refugee issues, as in Ukrainian refugees being fast tracked into other countries while non-white refugees have to fight tooth and nail just to get some space in a camp.

    In Germany refugees from places Germany helped destabilize like Syria were being evicted from their government financed accommodations to make room for Ukrainians. We were paying for Ukrainians to take taxis wherever they wanted to go. Many communities and employers requested donations for Ukrainian families in need. Jobs were created for Ukrainian refugees who weren’t qualified for the positions offered. All well and good, we should support all refugees in such generous ways. The story looked very different in 2014 when the majority of Syrian refugees were coming. There was very little such community assistance, the fledgling neo nazi political parties took advantage of the situation in quite the opposite way, and white Germans still view (PoC) refugees as freeloaders.

    The province I live in created homes for 12000 Ukrainian refugees out of thin air within two weeks of the war while non white refugees have to sleep in tents in front of refugee centers.

    But according to many, race doesn’t matter here. Not that I’m not happy for the Ukrainians, they should get help. But still, so do the rest of the refugees.

      My province has a website dedicated to Ukrainian refugees but I don’t remember seeing any of that for Syrian refugees…
