    White people only care about themselves. they enact special laws and measures and pour in billions of dollars to welcome Ukrainian refugees even at the expanse of local population, but turn a blind eye to the same suffering of people from other races. Big hypocrites with shameless faces.

      The difference is that Sudan depends on food imports from Russia and Ukraine and no one depends on imports from Sudan. If Russia and Ukraine are fighting, Sudan is dying from famine. If Sudan is fighting, no one is affected.

      there’s a limit to how many things you can actively care about and it’s logical that people will care more about events that are nearer to them

      even at the expanse of local population

      I suggest not parroting far right propaganda, thank you very much.

      Also, perhaps don’t apply fascist Poland, Hungary or Italy’s behavior on the entire EU, there are many millions of Syrian, Iraqi and Afghani refugees in the EU.

      Also, European racism is far more complex than white = good, brown = bad, like in the US.
      Nazis wanted to eradicate “white” Jews, “white” Romani and “white” Slavic people because of their ““race””. Do you seriously believe current day Nazis love the idea of Ukrainian immigrants? Have you actually seen how racist Germans treat Eastern European immigrant workers from Poland or Romania?
