Hi

I've tried to keep up on how #POCsInUkraine are treated.

When the racism from mainstream journos & from Ukraine's cops , border guards (whrvr they are) and train conductors showed up on sociaal media it was shocking.

Worse, even alternative news was slow to the story.

The last sane post was from BBC Africa.

Then I started notising AfricansInUkraine hashtag w/posts by rightwing & grifters. Have you seen this too?

#KorinneSky fled Ukraine when the air-raid sirens went off only to be left traumatised after being forced to endure racism at the border crossing - in contrast to white Ukrainians and their pets. A second-year medical student from #Leicester, Korinne was among hundreds of #Black and #Asian people whose reports of appalling treatment would paint a picture vastly different from the white fleeing refugees given smooth passage across the border.
