What the Rohingya crisis says about racism and politics in Asia

[Dubious]

.As a random question,what do you think Westerners would prefere as even unskilled workforce ,Eastern Europeans or African migrants ?

I dont know....they arent homogeneous in their approach....Prob depends on what they have to offer or whom they are forced to take in...

As for the skilled part ,our hospitals are drained of doctors and nurses ,even so that we're issuing a new law that if you didn't pay University classes you have to work 10 years in our system before high tailing to France or Germany.

That is good...But I dont know many Romanian - Just 3 and 1 is a postdoc, 1 is I think doing her PhD and 1 was here as an exchange student for molecular medicine.

.Don't get me started on our engineers,IT professionals,etc.There are millions of Romanians in Spain and Italy especially but apart from the criminals,the real criminals who commit crimes in here and in Western Europe,do you hear about Romanian enclaves with Romanians living as per their customs ? No,they adapt ,they work...Same for Poles,Bulgarians,Slovaks,etc.

I know many Slovaks ....As for the customs...Europeans didnt actually accustom themselves when they were going around lasso-ing colonies...No they brought SHIPS of foreign things ...Even after centuries they didnt wanna mingle with the locals...So if you expect it to happen overnight or even in your generation....History TEACHES us that it wont!

And for a last part,who did Romania colonise that she should accept immigrants per some stupid EU quotas ?

THAT I do not know....I didnt even know Romania was accepting many...when I talk about Europe I usually mean West as they are in the news more often

we're kind of poor if you didn't notice and suddenly we should take in immigrants ?

just as an example Poor Pakistan took the highest number of refugees from Afghanistan....after USA bruised them coz of THEIR cold war sadly Pakistan HELPED...and which Afghanistan ALSO chimmed

Just so you know,i'm all in for taking in Ukrainian refugees,which is starting to happen slowly.Even if more come,i'll keep the door open for them,no problems with that.You see,i'm not totally against refugees.

This circulates on Rou FB with the message :"Have a heart,host an Ukrainian refugee",lol

On 1 side, I want to blame all the white people for everything. Damn Europeans for colonialism, socialism, communism, democracy, *__Insert more -isms__*

On the other side, I don't think it's the problem of today's citizens of what their forefathers did, as long as they acknowldge and strive for that same culture to not come again.

The fact is that the Rohingya weren't able to assimilate or feel like they were accepted into a country that they have called home for centuries. @Gazprom @ito . This is the same what happened with the Paris Riots a couple of years ago. It's only going to get worse for Burma.

The Rohingya were in Burma for centuries. And their presence was encouraged by the British to work the farmlands they had in their then Colonial Burma. What you're failing to understand is that they came and settled the land, and encouraged by the then ruling government. So by common sense, they should be entitled to the laws applicable.

I'm a Pakistani-American. Came to America, earned my citizenship. Thankfully my father doesn't rely or believe that the US government "owes" him for something so he got a job and works. Thankfully I feel the same, and worked my *** off after my father made it perfectly clear to me that he wasn't going to pay my University fees. My kids will be American, provided they are born here, if they're born in France they'd be French-American ) , etc. Just like the children of the Rohingya should be treated as Burmese if they are born in Burma.

Finally take these words to heart. When you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain.

You're spot on on everything you've said but i think you know it pretty well that if you sudden throw hundreds of thousands of new immigrants,unaccustomed to EU laws,culture ,right now,it won't turn out well.I really don't consider non Europeans as savagers but the truth is that most of those who bundle at the gates right now are uneducated people hoping for a better life.They will not asimilate,they will not have a better life,they will form ghettoes.

As per what's happening in Burma,i've said it before on this forum,it's genocide but nobody seems to care,including muslim countries.
