If the people who had helped Edward Snowden were white, someone would already have given them asylum.

Unfortunately, the assumption of centuries is that white men should be able to depend on the sacrifices, voluntary or involuntary, of everyone else.  

I'm not faulting Mr. Snowden; he has tried to help them.

I'm faulting the social narrative that sanctifies him while the people who are the reason he survived are facing imminent deportation, torture and imprisonment.
