Wherever I look I can see news about a few very rich individuals being stranded on a submarine that was supposed to take them on a tour of the Titanic. The effort put in place to rescue them appears huge in scope.
Last week over six hundred people died in a #shripweck off the coasts of #Greece and nobody cared. Nobody even bothered to start a rescue operation until it was too late.
Stop pretending people are equal, I hate this hypocrisy.
Also I refuse to call them immigrants. These are people, human beings.
It's like being called an expat just because you're a wealthy immigrant. I'm not an expat, I'm an immigrant myself, just one that happens to be rich enough to be accepted without a peep.
People literally hide behind the word expat because immigrant is placeholder for poor, and we live in a world that frowns upon poverty as if it were a crime, not a condition deliberately imposed on people.
