The western visa policy is at its core: racist. A person from a developing country, no matter how well-educated, wealthy, or upstanding, receives less travel rights than a person that is uneducated, unemployed, or committed major crime in a western country. In America, we would a allow drug dealer with UK passport visa free entry, whereas, a doctor from a developing country would be deterred from entry with the administrative burden of long waits, proofs, forms, background checks, and non-refundable fees.

- kevindong 6y agoI don't think the policies are racist given that: 1. white people with non-Western passports largely have the same formal hurdles to meet as the non-white people with the same passport 2. non-white people with Western passports largely have the same [lack of] hurdles to meet as the white people with the same passport But the policies do certainly approximate racism since Western countries are predominantly white and non-Western countries are predominantly non-white.
