    I was at a bar a couple years ago and this girl walked up to me and complimented me on my outfit and we started chatting.

    She told me she was from Ukraine and recently moved to the US due to the war. When I told her I was Palestinian she made the 🥴 face and ended the conversation shortly after.

    Not really relevant, just remembered that event happened after reading the headline.

      the most telling way to find out how the world looks at refugees is comparing how they’re treating ukrainians ones vs syrian ones; the ukranians are living in polish homes to ride out the storm while the syrian ones were kept in refugee camps that were used as political fodder between belarus and poland.
