tbh i think subconciously we rank 1st world deaths over 3rd world deaths since life in the 3rd world is already **** so i guess it seems like less of a loss
for example we cared a lot about japan's tsunami even through they're not our people. probably wouldn't have cared if it was cambodia or something.
