    Even if the reasons are obvious it doesn’t mean we can’t have a discussion about it. Ever heard of doing something for the wrong reason?

      Oh sure, we can discuss it. I just didn’t have much time to write a long comment!

      This is a complicated issue, and the most obvious reason I would say is that these rich people and white explorers are more “important” than refugees, due to their background and money.

      There is a debate on whether to allow refugees into citizen’s countries. If so, how many? Should you allow all of them? What if there was a catastrophe and 2 million people moved through Europe? What if 1 million refugees attempted to enter your country?

      This is likely a never ending debate as the “answers” are valid for one group of people, and changes as societal standards change.
