This is true. Luckily all the information above is verifiable.

I can't remember a time when I didn't use Firefox. Actually back in highschool I used IE around 2002ish but only because I didn't know any better back then.

Because it is.

Several conflicts and humanitarian crises in predominantly non-white majority countries have been overshadowed by events in predominantly white majority countries. Examples include:

  1. Rwandan Genocide (1994): Despite the mass slaughter of the Tutsi population by the Hutu majority, the international community and media were slow to respond and provide comprehensive coverage. The genocide claimed approximately 800,000 lives in just 100 days.

  2. Darfur Conflict (2003-present): The genocide in Darfur, Sudan, has seen the systematic killing, displacement, and starvation of the non-Arab population by government forces and allied militias. Despite its scale and brutality, it has often been eclipsed by other international events.

  3. Democratic Republic of Congo Conflicts (1996-present): The series of wars and ongoing conflicts in the DRC have resulted in millions of deaths, primarily due to violence, disease, and starvation. These conflicts have received sporadic and often insufficient coverage compared to conflicts in Europe or the Middle East.

  4. Yemeni Civil War (2014-present): Despite being one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, the war in Yemen has not received consistent media attention. The conflict has led to widespread famine and suffering, exacerbated by the blockade and bombing campaign led by Saudi Arabia.

  5. Ethiopian Tigray War (2020-present): The conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia has resulted in significant civilian casualties and displacement. While it has been reported, it has not garnered the same level of media attention as conflicts in Europe or other Western-centric issues.

These examples highlight a troubling trend in global news coverage, where atrocities in non-white majority regions are often underreported, leading to a lack of international awareness and delayed action.

After they got rid of all the porn they last a vast majority of their traffic. Now they're basically a Taylor Swift fan club catering to a very small but dedicated fan base barely enough to keep the lights on.

They are husk of their former self.

Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, several conflicts were ongoing globally. Significant among them were:

  1. Syrian Civil War - A devastating conflict since 2011 involving multiple factions and foreign interventions.
  2. Yemeni Civil War - Starting in 2014, this war involves the Houthi rebels and the internationally recognized government, with significant Saudi and Iranian involvement.
  3. Afghanistan Conflict - The long-standing conflict saw a significant shift with the Taliban's return to power in 2021 following the U.S. withdrawal.
  4. Ethiopian Tigray War - A brutal conflict beginning in 2020 between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front.
  5. Libyan Civil War - A multifaceted conflict ongoing since 2014 between various factions vying for control of the country.

These conflicts have caused significant humanitarian crises and geopolitical tensions, impacting millions of lives.

Although all of these had some kind of coverage in the news, the invasion of Ukraine completely shadowed all of these by a significant margin. Also take note that every single conflict listed above is from non-majority white countries fought by non-majority white combatants.

The genocide in Rwanda of course had some coverage but not remotely is provident as the genocide in Yugoslavia.

I'm not trying to be racial or anything like that. This is just the pattern that we see consistently in stuff like this. Military engagement in predominantly white countries has better coverage than in military engagements and predominantly non-white countries.
