It seemed very well written, until he started mentioning skin color. That literally has close to no merit. Are some border guards racist? Of course. Are some people of color just plain opportunists? YES.. We literally have African students who were studying in Ukraine, who evacuated to France because of the war, who are claiming that due to racism they won't be allowed to leave France to go to the UK as a refugee.

Nobody would on normal circumstances be allowed to leave a safe European country and claim asylum in another safe European country. Regardless of the skin of your color. Ukrainians have been granted residency for upwards three years in Europe on humanitarian grounds, and they are expected to return home after the war is over.
