The Polish Border Guards get the difference...

 ...between economic migrants and refugees

But  The Guardian doesn't:

At the train station in Przemyśl in Poland, thousands of refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine get off the carriages every day, seeking asylum in Europe. As they arrive, dozens of Polish border guards and soldiers distribute food, water, blankets and hot tea with a smile.

I look on as the soldiers help Ukrainian women and children with their heavy luggage. I watch as they play with the children and caress their faces.

These are refugees. Women and children fleeing and actual war their men stayed behind to fight

As the scene unfolds, I can’t help but think that this is the same border force which, for months, a short distance north, along the same eastern border, has been violently pushing back asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan who attempt to cross the frontier from Belarus.

I can't highlight 'Fighting age men' in that paragraph, as the writer does not mention it

The refugees now coming in from Ukraine are women and children fleeing war. Those from Africa and the Middle East are male economic migrants who have left their women and children at home. They are invaders

You welcome refugees and you repel invaders

It's a damn shame that the British Government could not have been more like the Polish. Now there are actual refugees in need of sanctuary, our hotels are filled with young African and Middle Eastern men who have no business being here at all 

Same with much of Europe I imagine

And this is the kind of fake reporting that can get in the way of a genuine humanitarian effort:

Black student 'fought' onto trains due to racism throughout escape from Ukraine

Although there may be some issues with this story, if you read it, you'll see that racism has absolutely nothing to do with it

Elizabeth Iloba had been in her final year of a medical degree at an institute in the east of the country when the military offensive began.

The 29-year-old described being told to wait and even to go back by guards as she tried to catch trains on her three-day flight from Dnipro, which was hit by Russian missile strikes at the start of the invasion.

She pleaded to be let through and refused to stand aside while desperate crowds pushed their way onto services heading towards Poland.

Lone black woman not allowed to board evacuation trains while all the white women were? It certainly sounds like racism when put like that. Our lone black woman certainly describes it as such:

Stuck in limbo at a hotel in Warsaw, the student told Metro.co.uk she feels ‘saddened’ at the discrimination she experienced and is worried about other African students left behind as Vladimir Putin’s brutal offensive intensifies.

‘The racism is saddening but I’m trying not think about it,’ Elizabeth said.

‘I’m just saddened for the people who experienced it more strictly, they suffered a lot. Some people were not able to cross the border to safety.

‘Other students will tell you they had to wait from morning to night, even when a train was empty they were told they couldn’t get on

After the 'Continue Reading' button, the reporter (In the loosest sense of the word) does eventually get round to the truth

Elizabeth and her 27-year-old brother first travelled to Kirovohrad in central Ukraine on Sunday, staying in the city for two days.

They then joined thousands of refugees trying to flee from a nearby station as the military assault intensified, catching a packed train en-route to the city of Lviv in the west.

‘There’s a lot of discrimination and it was a real struggle to get on the train,’ she said. ‘They lock the doors of the trains and say it’s only for women and children.

Our lone black woman was actually travelling with a man. The trains were only evacuating women and children, not adult males

Now I understand not wanting to be separated from a loved one, particularly when you've been caught up in someone elses war. It could happen to anyone from workers through students to people simply on holiday. Females in such a situation would not want to leave the males behind any more than they would want to stay behind, but there's a war on and things can't always be handled perfectly

The women and children first rule applies. It may not always be fair and it certainly doesn't take into account every persons situation, but it's the best way to evacuate the most vulnerable as quickly as possible from an escalating war situation

It's certainly got nothing to do with racism

We had to struggle and fight our way through to get onto the train

‘We had to fight our way in,’ Elizabeth said.

‘The doors and steps were closed, so we had to climb in, it was difficult but we had no choice. I refused to let them stop me, I had to force my way in.

‘I know other people have respected the rules and stood aside but it was discrimination and I could see some spaces were empty.’

This must be what white privilege is all about. As a black man, you can cry racism, ignore the rules, force your way onto a train and take a space that could have been occupied by a woman or child

They must be very proud

So they reached Poland and were still faced with the same issues as the Polish border guards tried to separate them

‘They also said guys had to wait but I told them I wasn’t going to leave my little brother behind and we moved with the crowd.’

Her 'little' brother is a 27 year old adult

But finally, they were accepted on a refugee train for Warsaw

‘Even when we were on the train people were looking at us like “woah you shouldn’t be here”, you should wait until every Ukrainian is out first,’

They were probably thinking your 'little' brother should not have been there

But all's well that ends well, eh? 

Almost a week after leaving Dnipro, and like many other African students, Elizabeth, originally from Abuja, is stuck in limbo at a crucial point in her life.

‘We’re all confused, especially those of us in our final years.’ she said.

‘I want to go home but at the same time my residency pass expires in July and I don’t know what is going to happen next.

‘If I go back to Nigeria, the process for getting a visa is very tedious, and my pass is likely to expire by the time I get a new one.

‘We don’t know if we will be able to return, or transfer somewhere else, get our documents and move on with our lives. For now we are just trying to survive and waiting to see what will happen.

So you're actually one of the lucky ones. Most people who got on those trains will have lost everything, including loved ones

But racism
