@GaryMarcus In SA we’re talking Refugees. White refugees (in SA). It’s baffling to me that when the refugees in question are whites, there seems to be a problem? Why? (anyone who wants to answer this question is appreciated).

@GaryMarcus Gary, are you aware of what’s happening in SA regardless of race? It’s not good. And in my opinion, government-sponsored race based discrimination is bad regardless of the race of persons getting discriminated against and/or the race of the officials doing the discrimination.

So much for Liberty.

The statement addresses the treatment of refugees and implies a disparity based on race, suggesting that non-white refugees are treated poorly. It engages in public discourse by discussing racial discrimination and refugee policies.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement highlights harm done to non-white refugees, aligning with the principle of striving to do no harm by bringing attention to an issue. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It respects the dignity of refugees by acknowledging their mistreatment, but the phrasing could be seen as harsh.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding of racial disparities in refugee treatment, aligning with empathy and compassion. [+1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks but could be more constructive in its criticism. [-1]
