EU acceptance of Ukrainian refugees is not racism

Britain and EU nations have welcomed the Ukrainian refugees mainly because of their historical awareness of what happened to the Jews and the Nazi-style invasion of Ukraine. The memories are not only long but interest in history has refreshed just how awful a time this was for the countries invaded by the Germans in 1940. Secondly the Ukrainians have made it quite plain that when the Russians are removed from Ukraine that they want to return to rebuild their country. A sentiment that does not exist with the 'Asylum seeker' peoples who fully intend to stay in England et all and also to impose Islam and shariah law where possible.
