One day I will blow my top and explain visa privilege to Western people. Now that countries are applying the same work and visa rules that brown and black people had to endure for centuries, all hell breaks loose. Most of them actually have no idea of the hoops we jump thru.

Example of what I am talking about: The UK now has new rules for EU nationals. Mass outrage. I get it, but all those rules already apply to non-EU, mostly pigmented people. Including demonstrating that a job has no qualified Brit applicants before you hire a non-Brit.

In fact, nearly every country now has rules preferring locals. Globalisation is dead, people.

Not saying that any of this is good. It is terrible. But how is it only terrible when applied to white people? That fuss over Thailand& #39;s new financial requirements for visas? Indians be printing 6 months worth of bank stmts, 2 property deeds, letter from boss.. etc for yrs

Anyway, I could write a book on how I have lived in some 10 countries on an Indian passport and how MUCH paperwork that involved, while Western backpackers walked in and out paying no taxes and contributing nothing to the economy.
