The one in Africa is clearly worse at the moment according to the metric of killings we can do anything about.
I quite agree.
The fact that she didn't point out that it WAS happening as she spoke was disturbing. Focusing on a past event is fine and all but if the goal is to stop it I think it would be nice to at least MENTION that it is going on.
My point was that the lady probably simply wasn't aware of the situation in Africa, as the Western media isn't as big on telling their audience about ethnic genocides as they are in covering the latest Hollywood scandal. Considering she went through an ethnic slaughter and would be more concerned about the issue, I think she ought to be given the benefit of the doubt and that her not commenting on current events was more likely due to lack of information rather than deliberate omission.
Sorry if I read too much into your previous post!
