You make that sound like its racist for European countries wanting to help out a European neighbor. It isn't.
It is, we've seen how Europe treats refugees from the countries NATO destroyed.
Maybe post some constructive information about that to educate people rather than a meme that says more about the author than a particular situation they are trying to describe.

a lot of upset racists here being forced to look in the mirror
Someone downvoted a comment I had literally 2 secs after I posted it. They wouldn't have had time to read anything I wrote or the source I linked. They're seething at anyone who thinks outside the NATO box.
