Every journalist covering Ukraine should really, really look internally. This is why I say we should stop pretending we have objectivity and in instead acknowledge our biases so that we can report against them. Many of us see the racialized analysis and language.

And honestly, these admissions of shock that this is happening in a European country are ahistorical and also serve to justify the lack of sympathy for other invasions, other occupations and other refugee crisis involving peoples not considered white.

Not to mention that it’s ignorant as fuck about Europe, where tribal and national tensions means there has been a war roughly every 30 years since the fall of Rome. And not counting the Balkan Wars when they say “first war sine WWII” is more racism/prejudice.
