The UK is too diverse for some Ukrainian refugees

[thinking]

This thread is crazy!

[J Legend X]

well, I guess they would fit right in with British people...

[GreatCoolBright]

Shameful that some refugees said it.

[BGKC]

Imagine having to flee your Eastern European country because a white man like Putin is destroying it just to complain about brown and black people in Western Europe. 

[Bosque]

How was this thread worthy when there are literally millions of Ukrainian refugees living across Europe with barely any problems? If you just take 100 random people from any population you’ll get a couple of racists at least. The obvious agenda pushing

I stopped having empathy for them from the time they refused to allow Africans on the trains while they escaped the war.

If you live in europe you already know Eastern Europeans are racist as hell.

 

Ukranians have a history of being Nazi's so....

Every last racist Ukrainian can rest in piss. But we have to be careful not to lump them all together

Not surprised. I remember those stories of black Ukranians being refused passage on trains leaving the affected areas. It's probably only just certain groups of people though.

I think some of that had to do with being men aged 18-60 who were not allowed to leave the country, regardless of race. But maybe there were cases of discrimination beyond that too idk.

I just know, I just KNOW that no black person is doing race politics about some idiots being racist like that should affect humanitarian efforts, especially when a lot of African refugees seek help while also holding homophobic views.

 

People don't come preset with our preferred values and beliefs, shocker, I know but conversion happens by exposure not hate or closing the door. Especially when you weren't even involved with helping the refugees outside of a dollar donation or something, if even that. You don't have to house anybody, you're not a victim.

 

Idk why people always gotta be reactionary about people who need help. There will be rape victims who're misogynists, there will be black people who're homphobic, there will be white people who're racist; help isn't offered to the worthy but it's general practice of good people whenever possible.

 

You don't solve anything by fighting with a common bigot, especially one who isn't even in a good state of mind in the first place. As long as these people show cooperation with changing for the better(which is typically the trend with refugees over time.)

I'm not surprised at all, let's just say that.

 

Lookup LGBTQ+ views and racial bias stats in Ukraine and then you'll know what we all knew way before the war. 

[JonRih]

It’s a shame to hear stories like this and I agree if they hold these views they should leave (not back to Ukraine but to a less progressive environment).

 

But also, these are just a handful and while I’m okay with them being exposed for their racist beliefs, I hope this doesn’t damage the reputation of Ukranian refugees that are not like that. People like to lump people together and stereotype and this won’t do them any good.

It’s not just Putin. Ukraine had been all over the news for being basically a neo-nazi state even before the war. 

[Bosque]

Not people on here actually believing every word that Putin of all people is saying.
