I don't think Ukrainians were coming across the channel on makeshift boats which is what the Rwanda scheme is for

You can see why some people might think that’s a teeny bit racialist.
Just because you wouldn't dream of letting anyone into your gaff doesn't mean the scheme doesn't exist
At least Gary Lineker backs up his rhetoric with action, even if he did talk about him like he was a pet

How does it sound like a pet? It can only sound like a pet if you’re making a value judgement on the humanity of the person being given refuge. The actual quote is literally just discussing the practicalities and the differing commitment levels, right? I mean, I suspect that it’s very easy to make any situation where a person with resources temporarily offers shelter to someone less fortunate sound like someone is enjoying the hierarchy. But why not just assume good faith?

Re: Migrants crossing the channel
But who would be being racist if any organisations were being included? It’s the fact that the government has only created a scheme for Ukrainians that is racist

There's an ongoing war in their homeland and a resettlement scheme was set up for Afghans earlier this year who were also at need

I see that now you’re suggesting that existence of any “scheme” negates the point, which is that the government has only seen fit to offer a scheme *where people can go through a process by which they open their home to refugees* to Ukrainian people.

There's schemes where people can house refugees
The government sponsored schemes are for Ukrainians and Afghans due to current circumstances

Last time I looked Hong Kong Chinese people were non white and we have recently let in 150,000 potentially up to 1m in the future. I guess they are more middle class, work hard, have money and don’t score as many brownie points at Islington dinner parties as your garden-variety Syrian.
