and it could be rather unpleasant. Could it possibly be because the victims in those mass graves aren't white?

You mentioned the internation uproar a few years ago against the mass murders in Romania and the former Yugoslavia. There wasn't a similar uproar over the mass murders in Africa. There were calls for the US to take action in the former Yugoslavia but no one did much when the more horrific murders were going on in Rowanda, much to all our shame.
