when the victims are lighter skinned
This is what it is and it’s ironic cause Palestinians aren’t even that dark.
Sudan civil war what? too dark 4 me
When the victims aren't strategic to US interests*
While that may be partially true, The Guardian ironically has a good opinion piece of the exact quotes being said by news reporter about "European" children getting bombed from 2022. Sometimes it IS related to the colour of their eyes and skin, and dismissive comments like yours come across pretty ignorant.
Some reporters being racist, doesn't mean that sensibilities of people aren't moved when it's non-white people, this was very patent during China's oppressive policies against Uyghur in Xinjiang. There were years of condemnation and of people calling it genocide, and there was massive outcry here on Reddit. Would you say Uyghur are white, or is it just convenient to remember them and being concerned because the whole thing paints China in a bad light? I didn't see nearly the same level of outrage during the actual genocide against Rohingya Muslims in south-east Asia.
