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.
