What should white people do?

More than 660,000 people have left Ukraine for Europe since the Russian invasion began but yet there’s very little talk about Racism. Let’s not ignore that, Ukrainian nationalist groups’ were heavily involved in the Holocaust and mass ethnic cleansing of Poles during World War II.Though a majority-white country, Ukraine has a diverse, multiethnic population including Tatars, Jews and Roma, as well as small communities of Black and Asian Ukrainians. In recent decades, the country earned a good reputation among the mostly African and Asian nations who send some 80,000 of their citizens there to study. And while Ukraine provided them with a relatively comfortable life, it was not an easy one to attain. Reporters have documented dehumanizing treatment against international students from Africa, South Asia and the Middle East in Ukraine. This treatment also extended to racialized permanent residents of Ukraine, including a long-time practicing Nigerian doctor. While white women and children were given priority on vehicles departing the country, African women were barred from trains leaving Kyiv even though there were empty seats. Now the question is, why should Black and Brown people care about what is happening there? And what about what’s happening in the Ukraine are white people empathizing with? What is the cost of the war and who pays? #PoorPeopleFedUp #Racism#SystemicRacism #CivilRights #WhitePrivilege #NoJusticeNoPeace  #FacingRacism #BlatantRacism #NormalizedRacism
