[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC’s Ali Velshi used his Saturday show to ponder if Ukrainians fleeing the war zone in their country benefit from being white Christians while Syrians and Afghans do not.
Velshi asked his question of The Atlantic’s Caitlin Dickerson and was confident that he already knew the answer, “I think I know the answer to this, but why have we not been good at this? We—we-- were not good with the Afghans, we were not good with the Syrians, we're—we’re-- doing better with the Ukrainians, and a lot of people do sort of seem to think, and they deserve all the help we can give them, but a lot of people seem to think it's because they're white and Christians and the other ones aren't.”
