You can describe them as "closer to you" if you want, but if you don't know them then you can't have the emotional bond normally implied by the phrase "close to you." That emotional bond is generally accepted as an excuse for prioritising one individual over others even if the others have greater need. In the absence of such an emotional bond, declaring one stranger to be "closer" to you than another is just in-group bias, which is not justification for a double standard. |
