I see the destroyed places and dont blame the poor folks for trying to leave. Can the rest of the world accommodate them? Well kind of. It leaves a sour taste when folks bring their problems and fights with them. Most places already have some less-fortunate people already, and can barely look after them, but now they are overlooked in favour of people who have no real connection to the place. I dont see why people are so against temporary protection visas, you could help a huge number of people temporarily, and they could help their country rebuild if and when the squabbling stops.
I think we're kind of on the same page. I did notice mostly the winners were from some kind of minority group, to point out this one was this and that one was that, well maybe a person from that minority group is more talented and fair enough. But the incidence of second place getters doing much better than the winners, would indicate that for whatever reason second place is based on talent and first on TV ratings etc.
