The United Nations refugee agency UNHCR is publishing a book in Italy titled “Anche Superman era un rifugiato”, which translates to “Superman Was a Refugee Too”.
The book pays tribute to famous refugees from the past and the present, from reality and fiction… including the Man of Steel, Superman.
“Superman too was a refugee” includes the stories of famous refugees like Aeneas and Dante. Aeneas – a hero from ancient Greek mythology – was a refugee and found in Italy the home he had dreamt about. Famous Italian poet and philosopher Dante died in exile, not in his beloved Florence. And then there’s comic book hero Superman – an alien who had to leave his home planet Krypton and who found refuge on earth.
UNHCR wrote in a statement that the book “parallel lives that have in common a dream, a passion, a talent and the courage of putting them at the service of others.”
The book “was conceived to enable girls and boys to form their own opinion on what it means to be a refugee, based on real stories,” UNHCR spokeswoman for southern Europe Carlotta Sami said. “The direct and captivating language of the stories helps them understand better the experiences of people of their age, in a creative way that is devoid of prejudice and stereotypes. We hope that the book in this way will become a fundamental tool for the promotion of a culture of integration, which also indirectly involves the families and teachers of the young readers and society as a whole.”

Question:
How can Superman be a refugee…
When he’s LEGALLY ADOPTED by the Kent Family which officially makes him a legal citizen of the United States?!?!
Oh yeah, Superman basically operates in the North/South Pole which is OUTSIDE of any established country in the world.
Go eat that for breakfast. >_>
Kal-El became Clark Kent once the Kents formally adopted him. Until that time, he did in fact meet the definition of a refugee: “a person who flees for refuge or safety, especially to a foreign country, as in time of political upheaval, war, etc.”
Clark Kent is by all measures an American citizen. Superman, on the other hand, is a citizen of the world.
A “refugee”?? What nonsense. Nothing but a “statement” word. Pandering towards a certain political side.
I knew when I heard that description on Supergirl intro that they were dipping into new lows as a means of justifying an impending invasion.
It’s not political if it’s true. Kara and Kal were rocketed to Earth before Krypton’s destruction because their parents felt they had a chance for a better life on another world.
Either way. They’ve gone out of their way to make a “statement” by manipulating the opening intro on Supergirl. It’s a way of sidetracking people from our impending problem. But this is just typical of the of what we’re seeing in the entire entertainment industry. You know…..an industry that revolves around making fake things look real.
“an industry that revolves around making fake things look real.”
The Fox News/Rush Limbaugh/Alex Jones/MAGA hat business model.
No….the idiots on CNN and MSNBC that laughably barf their liberal diversity and acceptance garbage. The same tripe that the Hollywood masses follow.
Earth is for everyone. So said Superman.
