Half a million may have died in Ethiopia conflict as all eyes remain on Ukraine
Half a million may have died in Ethiopia conflict as all eyes remain on Ukraine | The Strategist
Calling out Western media coverage of Ukraine’s conflict as racist, as some have done, seems a bit of a cheap shot—one angling for another hot take to throw into the never-ending click-bait news cycle. Yes, ...James Jeffrey (The Strategist)

in reply to gun • •This would also explain why the media here talked way more about Lybia and Syria than they do about anything happening in south America, although there are less whites there.
I can still see other explanations that imo seem more plausible.
Close to the EU also means close to the western civilisation. This also explains why here we heard so much about George Floyd and BLM. Or do you think that it is because afro-americans are somehow whiter than africans?
Finally, let us recall that the Ukraine conflict is also a proxy war between NATO and Russia, another military superpower. World order is at stakes there. Or do you think American media actually care about the Ukrainian people?

in reply to Liwott • • •Ostensibly, much of it has to do with people's moral concerns. People claim to care about Ukraine, not because it directly affects them, but because of the humanitarian aspect. This is apparent from the focus of the conversation on various claimed atrocities, the "stand with Ukraine" rhettoric. The issue is, all human life is valuable. So if it's about moral outrage, which it is, then you would expect to see proportionate response to other people's lives that matter.
If there was the same degree of attention to Ukraine, but the moral aspect wasn't as strong, it would be hard to argue a pattern of racism. But that's not what we see.

in reply to ster • • •But the conflicts that America is involved in Somalia and Yemen do matter for Americans. Saudi Arabia payed us $100 billion for weapons to kill people in Yemen. But no one has a Yemeni flag on their social media.
It's like in your car example. But somehow you were running people over with your car and you didn't care. But when someone else does it you care. Even when it's ruining your car. It's plain hypocrisy.
