Had to look for the missing details and here is my answer.
There is an excerpt attached to this which was taken from "Hamlet" and in this excerpt, the implicit and the explicit information can give as the inference that tableware was rare during the period of Elizabethan as it is today. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The phrase "The refugee crisis is not about refugees, rather it is about us" has enormous sociological weight that needs to be analyzed. Thus, refugees are people who due to political, social or economic conflicts are displaced from their homes, and must settle abroad (that is, they do not emigrate entirely voluntarily, but by necessity or force majeure).
Many times, due to extremely serious issues, refugees fleeing their countries number in the millions (for example, the case of Syrians fleeing the civil war in their country). This generates the sad event of refugee crises, which occur because the receiving countries are not prepared for the massive arrival of these people.
In this context, the phrase implies that refugees are not the problem, but that it is the task of each country and its citizens to help these people cope with their situation in the best possible way.
