I’m not surprised but it doesn’t make it any less wrong or awful. A human is a human and has the right to protection regardless of skin colour, religion, sexual orientation… if refugees come from a largely Christian nation, we accept them with open arms, yet Muslim refugees we spit on and send away to cold tents.

Empathy only extend so far. Yes ideally we should all care about everyone, but that's not the case because there is a very real limit to our ability to care.

I'm not afraid to accept that if there is some war in Asia I care a lot less than when 9/11 happened because I can barely pronounce the name of one while I've been to the other several time.
