What's with the racist Western media Ukraine coverage? The social media world has become flooded with clips of Western journalists expressing racist views while covering the war in Ukraine.

Onlookers, particularly from minority communities, have been left appalled by wording which makes white Europeans seem more human.

It isn’t just journalist comments which been condemned as outrageous and racist. Also, footage has emerged of refugees from Africa or the Middle East, being blocked from fleeing Ukraine simply because of the color of their skin. With more examples of this type coming out on a near-daily basis, question marks surround what place minorities have living in the West.
