I suspect brownish people must feel pretty depressed right now. Seeing how their countries got destroyed with literally zero consequences for the war crimes of the "west". Disasters like this one is exactly what hegemonies lead to. And is Europe racist? Oh yes, we are. The cries against having brown people given asylum came from every corner of society. And now everyone is welcoming our brothers and sisters, as they should. I don't want a world war but we sure are getting there. The status quo will have to change. The good guys are most certainly not in charge.

A response late is better than no response. I believe what you are saying is that if some countries were destroyed, others should be as well? Europe protects itself as it considers Ukraine a part of Europe, that's not racist, that's pragmatist.

  Don't want any country to be destroyed. Isn't that a given? Can't we discuss realities in a more open way without the low hanging strawman arguments?

I agree with the general point about double standards. However, Europe is one of the least racist places in the world, and one of the places where millions of non-white people moved to and started a new life. The tirade about a supposedly racist Europe is pretty ungenerous. Of course there are racist people in Europe here and there, but Europe as a whole is one of the least racist places in the whole world.

  Fair enough. Short statements aren't tirades by definition, though I understand your sentiment. Can't help but notice certain non-european country is working overtime to unite the world against against the threat they have very much encouraged. And that they have done, and continue to do, much worse things. We shouldn't let this go unnoticed. Context matters

If you are thinking about the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, those were very different situations.
