<p>I disagree in part. While it arguably is partly that, another reason is pure politics. The US is not nearly as sympathetic to the PRC as it is to Japan. Is it right? No. But it is what it is.</p>
<p>However, I don’t believe that it’s a white/non-white thing, because we certainly pay a lot of attention to black slavery as a historical issue, and there is definitely some cognisance of what happened in Rwanda. Unfortunately, however, the Chinese-American lobby is very quiet about these issues, and so far hasn’t really made the concerted effort to get it on the radar like the Jewish lobby has.</p>
<p>I mean, look at the Armenian genocide. Armenians are white, but they get no attention whatsoever. The difference? Probably lobbying power.</p>
