someone says: burundis choose to kill each other, breed like rabbits, produce nothing, live on aid, imcompetent

does this leave out the significant fact that europeans are paid $10+/hr and burundians 1c/hr?
that 50% of the pop. are under 14 and therefore they breed like rabbits leaves out the fact that the life expectancy at birth is around 45 yrs, & 50% is only 2 kids/couple?
produce nothing: is the truth that they are paid very little [by europeans] for their production of coffee, etc
live on aid: is it true that net aid is to FIRST world, ie repayments exceed loans?
kill one another: is the truth that european plunder has made them so super-desperately poor that stealing is survivalist? ['the rich rob the poor and the poor rob each other' bc the poor are too weak to rob the rich]
incompetent: how competent wd anyone be on 1c/hr?
is it unlikely that ppl in one place are much inferior to ppl in another place?
demonisation of robbed? robber selfidealisation?

Burundians are not naturally inferior to Europeans, we are all God's children.

Europeans have learned in the past half century [this year is the half-centenary of the EU] from their mistakes of the previous half century and are poloting the way to a united world that will include Burundi (see my other answer today on the EU).

The way out of this historic injustice is for all countries to develop into 1st world countries. Many are already successfully doing so. Our contributions that matter in the West ("aid" is relatively trivial) are free trade and bordeers that are partially porous to immigrants and migrant workers. (Out of every $ of official aid, maybe half is wasted on prestige projects. Out of every $ sent home to Philippines by a maid in Hong Kong or to Somalia by a cook in London, about 80-85 cents is spent on worthwhile things that wholly help the home country's development right where it is most needed. The rest is spent on imports and even these add to the country because they need ports and roads.)
