The article reviews Channel 4's reality show 'Go Back To Where You Came From,' which follows six characters with strong anti-immigration views as they confront the realities of war and refugee camps. It highlights the irony of their emotional reactions to their experiences, particularly their encounters with the devastated children of Raqqa. The piece critiques how the serious subject of immigration becomes fodder for entertainment, revealing the characters' ignorance and insensitivity despite their attempts at understanding.
Is it worth watching a racist and ignorant person cry his eyes out when he sees the children of Raqqa, the Syrian city devastated by civil war, rummaging through the rubble?
The danger of the most important debate of the 21st century, immigration, is that it can be perfect material to be put through the entertainment shredder.
