RE: Why I left my home country
Not everyone has that option of course. And now the UK looks set to close its doors on free movement, and far right ideas on immigration are taking hold across the world to varying degrees, even to the extend of letting refugees drown in the med and criminalising those rescuing them. Future generations will find less opportunities to escape the plight they are born into as social mobility closes down.
Yes you're right. Some are more privileged than others. What's happening in the UK is bizarre but I can understand that people are uncomfortable with so many cultures coming and mixing together. It can almost seem like a threat to your very way of life.
I'm from Canada so I've grown up around multiple cultures. I'm open to the idea of immigration, especially with how large our country is. Though some are still closed off to the idea. Hopefully a solution can be found for the whole world sometime in the future.
I think that what we are seeing here is a massive discrepancy in views between generations. A shift back for the better is beginning, and it feels good to be a part of that.
