alive.

So were helicopters. It was night, with subzero temperatures and
snow everywhere. Albagir, a pre-med student, and a small band of
African refugees were trying to sneak into Poland, down to the
last few shriveled dates in their pockets.

grabbed a suitcase and her tablet, which she uses for her
animation work, and jumped with her family into a burgundy
Toyota RAV4. They rushed off in a four-car convoy with eight
adults and five children, part of the frantic exodus of people
trying to escape war-torn Ukraine.

refugees crossing into the same country at the same time, both
about the same age, could not stand in starker contrast. Albagir
was punched in the face, called racial slurs and left in the
hands of a border guard who, Albagir said, brutally beat him and
seemed to enjoy doing it. Katya wakes up every day to a stocked
fridge and fresh bread on the table, thanks to a man she calls a
saint.

every single day of the week. In recent months, most are from
Afghanistan and war-torn African nations like Somalia, Sudan and
the Tigray region of Ethiopia. There aren’t any Ukrainian war
refugees standing in the cold, though. They have been welcomed
into warm homes and care facilities. “They are white, so they

from countries that have suffered longer wars than the four-week
invasion of Ukraine, whose refugees do not have to go through

Actually, I disagree. At minimum, Ukrainians should move to the
back of the queue. Only when all refugees from chronologically
earlier crises have been absorbed should we even consider what
to do with Ukrainian refugees. Anything better for Ukrainian

“We have told them to give the excess to other refugee groups in

overwhelmed with donations.” Meanwhile the Baobob center
regularly publishes its list of needs: canned food, children’s
clothing and shoes, diapers, and medicine.

even for Sudanese fleeing a civil war who has already seen the
deaths of 300,000 people or for Afghans stranded from Europe on
the border between Bosnia and Croatia. We asked ourselves if
they deserve peace too. Beyond skin color, that’s it.” The

Emergency Fund with €10 million to respond to the “serious

I am sure there exist other individuals like Lucano. I am also
sure that if they try to do what Lucano did, they too will be
imprisoned for it. This is why the focus has to first be on
exterminating racists; only after that can we be practically
effective in helping "non-white" refugees on a large scale.

When earlier refugees were looking for jobs, the response was:
"They'll take all our jobs! Jobs should go to natives first!"
Nativism is already bad, but now it has been proven beyond doubt
that rightists were merely pretending to be nativists. Their
true motivation is ethnotribalism. Translated, the above part in
