    It’s not that people don’t care because the victims aren’t white. They don’t care as much because to an american/European audience the deaths are less geopolitically relevant.

    Millions die in Africa? Ok, how does that impact the US at all, apart from immigration? Meanwhile Pol Pot and Mao Zedong are household names because there is a clear geopolitical connection which kept those people in the news and history books.
