especially if they’re in a vulnerable group

The original comment was about people with desirable skillsets leaving for other countries. If you mean people in vulnerable groups with those skills able to leave, absolutely. Agreed. But that is a very slim amount of people who are looking to do this. Vulnerable groups have a much more difficult time emigrating in general, and they certainly make up a far lower percentage than those of cis white people running for the door.

More strawmen but OK, you also know nothing about me. But I really don’t want to argue with someone I likely agree with far more than I don’t. Thanks for the book rec, I’ll check it out.
