Venezuela state TV "documentary" claims those who leave country are only "whites" and "blondes"

http://www.el-nacional.com/politica/polemico-documental-VTV-asegura-blancos_3_785951408.html

“Yo me quedo” fue un especial sobre la inocultable emigración de jóvenes venezolanos. El tema, tratado por el programa de VTV “Y si lo pensamos bien”, hace hincapié en que la mayoría de los que salen del país son “blancos o rubios”.


Translation: "I'm Staying" was a special program about the impossible-to-hide migration of young Venezuelans out of the country. The topic, which is handled by program of the state-run channel VTV, "If we think it through well", makes emphasis in that the majority of those who leave the country are "whites" and "blondes"

Wow... As a Venezuelan who emigrated to South Florida over 5 years ago (which has the largest Venezuelan community in the world outside of Venezuela), I can assure for a fact that the majority of those who have emigrated here aren't "whites" or "blondes", and they sure as hell don't all come from rich privileged families either. What a bunch of garbage, but then again, this is Chavista-run media, so it's not surprising.
