Migrants or Refugees?
\"Calling these people migrants makes their situation seem a lot less serious. 'Migrant' sounds like they're rushing to Europe to find better jobs, rather than fleeing an unspeakably brutal war. But the truth is that even the refugees just pretending to be Syrian are still fleeing from places like Iraq and Afghanistan that are also convulsed by endless waves of warfare.\"

What is this?
This is but a minuscule response to irresponsible journalism covering the Syrian refugee crisis. A string replacement Chrome extension that corrects the articles you are reading on your browser by replacing occurrences of the word Migrant to a more appropriate one: Refugee.
