You don’t have strong feelings about millions of people dying?
That’s got nothing to do with your race. That’s just really shit.

I don’t have any strong feelings or opinions about the holocaust in particular, as opposed to any of the other multiple genocides and atrocities humanity has committed over the ages, or even just the assorted hundreds of millions of deaths from war, famine, disease, etc. They all suck, but I see no reason to get more emotional about one specific event than any of the others.
I get that it’s especially sensitive for many people because they feel connected to the event via personal, family or national ties. None of those apply to me. How strongly do YOU feel about the Crusades, which were very much an attempted genocide?

The crusades were atrocities in my opinion. Straight up racism made manifest under the guise of religion.

Yep. So was the holocaust. But at least for me, it’s an intellectual outrage, nothing that works up my emotions. Apparently to some people, that’s unacceptable.

If someone is of Asian decent from any country Japan invaded, their ancestors experienced equally bad atrocities that are largely ignored by the global community.

Yeah but I wouldn’t say I have no opinion about them. It’s super fucked up and horrifying.
