Wealthy submersible victims receive global compassion, while hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers drown in silence, exposing a clear hierarchy of racism in determining whose lives matter more
This rhetoric contributes to the perpetuation of hierarchical racism and biases in how these refugees are treated and perceived.
Such discourse is considered a form of dehumanisation as it reduces the humanitarian aspect of the refugee crisis to an economic basis.Hierarchical racism, or prioritisation of certain refugee groups over others, is another tool commonly used in Western media and politics. “Although not explicitly stated most of the time, this hierarchy is reflected in policies, as seen in the case of Ukraine,” adds Bayrakli.
Deutsche Welle’s coverage of the Ukrainian refugees has been dotted with instances that support Bayrakli’s viewpoint. The German media organisation shared a comment that defined helping Ukrainian refugees as a “reflex,” a natural instinct, a response described as a “solidarity reflex.
“They want to have a representation of who they are and how Europe should look in the future and therefore problematise Muslim refugees from the Middle East in their discourse,” he said.
