NEW YORK, May 16 (Xinhua) -- The terms used by U.S. and European journalists to describe non-European refugees reflect a racist European and American policy that only extends human rights protections to certain groups of people to the exclusion of others, making the death and suffering of Middle-Eastern, African and Asian refugees more expected and therefore tolerated, reported Asylum Access on Friday.
"The racist language used by journalists is only the tip of the iceberg of discrimination," said the advocates' group that supports forcibly displaced individuals and communities, noting that Black, Asian, and Middle Eastern refugees are treated very differently when they arrive at the border in European countries.
