You’d think, but brown overseas lives are pretty worthless in our halls of power unfortunately
On a related note, sure is weird how every time we have a big war there’s a noticeable uptick in racist bullshit a couple of years after (WWI preceded a resurgence in the KKK, WWII preceded all the church bombings and other crimes of the civil rights era, Vietnam preceded Reagan giving his campaign kickoff speech at the site of a famous lynching and all the stuff that happened in the 80s and early 90s, the War on Terror preceded Trump, etc.). It’s almost like putting a lot of people in situations where they think they have to dehumanize and kill the residents of countries they’re occupying has lasting impacts the people with power refuse to reckon with or something.
