Watching the (deserved) outpouring of support for Ukraine, I have simultaneously been wondering why there hasn't been the same level of support--especially in opening the gates for refugees--for other people in other countries where hospitals and apartment buildings are being bombed, civilians being killed, food and water shortages causing starvation--countries such as Afghanistan and Syria coming to mind. I am afraid the sad conclusion is that it's not so much the terror of war as the color of skin that makes the difference to getting help.
