Twitter, a day in the life of. 1. Make comments that are perfectly sensible 2. Get accused of racism and xenophobia 3. Post factual evidence to back up your comments 4. Get accused of, variously, back-peddling, doubling down *and* proving your xenophobia 5. Repeat chorus to fade

We could go round the houses on it, but tbh, it's pointless, as its one persons view versus another. I find it funny how insanely fast and far anger travels these days, it's pretty staggering at times. ... Still more than me!

"We should train more doctors." "Who said that?" "Julia." "JHB? Xenophobe!!!"
-
Because she said she doesn't want to be treated by foreign doctors, and accused them of poor medical training, that is Xenophobia.

It's fairly reasonable to say that training standards in the developing world are not as high as in the developed world... It's not xenophobic at all... I wouldn't want to be treated by a British doctor who had been trained in an undeveloped country...
-
Equally, if a doctor from a developing nation has been trained in a developed nation, whether it's the UK, France, Canada, Japan... then I'm perfectly happy to be treated by them, assuming there isn't a language barrier.
