That is true. However, that could lead to considering that anything less than the Holocaust is (more or less) nothing. We might need to be equally apalled by all atrocities. Maybe, I'm not sure.

Almost every single war in poor countries has a strong degree of "white" involvement. That doesn't contradict the brutality of the Rwanda conflict.
