Shocking. Brutal. Now it is easier to understand what our kids said about Ukrainians behaving in a beastly, racist way towards people of colour.

And still there are many who are sat on both sides with the "phul support mentality" we have many of them here in Islamabad too. Cretins. - These people couldn't give a fig about us or our ill, I will pray for their men, women and children, I will pray for de-escalation and I do genuinely feel for the suffering they are going through.Shocking.

Oh, totally. Watching that was definitely a turning point in my thinking. It crystallised the whole thing rather sharply.And still there are many who are sat on both sides with the "phul support mentality" we have many of them here in Islamabad too.

BUT... No one changed their DP to a Pakistan or Afghan or a Syrian flag or an Iraqi flag for so many years when we were in the blood and shit and the guts. So that's all I want to say about that, I hope you understand sir.
didnt stop them from colonizing the world… and pakistan is actually closer to russia than ireland.This is about proximity more than being race.
How many time did you care about something happened far, far away? It's like killing a person, it's always hard to forget when you are doing face to face and you can feel the last breathe of someone, you can look at his eyes and see the terror, but when you are dropping bomb 20,000 ft above, suddenly this problem goes away.
This is about desensitize information, we don't generally care about people that are too far we don't even know they existed. Until it was shown on TV, the further it is away from the incident, the less interest it generate. Like I care about 2 guys got killed in the floor happening 300 km from my house (it's a real example) but I probably would not care less if this happen somewhere else in a country far-far away having a flood at the same time....
And then you ask why European or "White" Media care about Ukrainian and Russian war so much? Well, it's in their backyard....
Discrimination and racism as people flee Ukraine shared on social media
Why surprised, it's in their blood, even after they become refugees, they still think they are superior to you.
It's ok to fund conflict, intervene, regime change in Arab and African countries. But when a western state is hit out come all the 'outrage' and sympathy.
Anyway for the record I feel for the people of Ukraine and wish them the best.
