Why not fund Congolese educations against? Why not fund Indians' educations instead? Why not fund Cubans' educations instead?

Does it matter? Are these not all people deserving of education?

Because I believe in putting your own nation first before others. It does matter whether you are helping your own people or other people. I will always chose for an American to get a better education over someone from another country if I had a choice.

Where does that come from? Why are people who happen to hold the same passport as you more deserving of your care/attention/resources?

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.
