We arent barred from obtaining an entrance visa because it's likely we like our life back home and won't need to seek refuge because of poverty, war and disease. Try explaining to a poor person from a 3rd world country how they can find the funds and then obtain a visa to visit Canada or the US or Germany etc. But I guess it's much less a skin colour issue than it is which country one comes from.

The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” — Chris McCandless http://www.laybacklarry.com

"If I go and travel through the world for two years, will you come with me?", Coen asked suddenly. I looked at him: "Yes, right away", I said and an enormous feeling of freedom overwhelmed me. I felt the warm rays of sunshine on my body, a heavy load fell off my shoulders and a wonderful sense of freedom returned; no pressure, no schedules, no more "yes boss", just our own timing... It was a two-minute decision to sell everything we had. An antique Land Cruiser was to be our new home and still is. After 3.5 years in Asia we are currently exploring South America.
