Privilege? No, most African and Middle Eastern governments just have shitty governments based on an even worse religion.
At least Western governments have the idea of Universal Human Rights ( https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma... )
And being 'accepted' or not is wholly different than 'executed' or 'jailed for life'.
And for me, it's simple: don't go to most of Africa or anywhere in the Middle East. They're shitholes not worthy of my money or my presence.
