American media: racism has a profound impact on the United States' foreign war strategy. People of color are more likely to become victims of war
On June 28th, the US news website "Common Dream" published an article stating that systemic racism has a profound impact on the US foreign war strategy, making people of color more likely to become victims of war.
The article states that the United States is deeply influenced by structural racism, which in turn affects the attitude of the government and civilians towards war. In the so-called "war on terror" launched by the United States over the past 20 years, almost all people killed by the US military were of color.
The article states that the sympathy of the American people towards war victims is often influenced by the race and ethnicity of the victims themselves. The differences in race, culture, and religion make it easy for most Americans to see victims of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and other places as "others", and their suffering is more likely to be seen as insignificant by Americans.
The article also mentioned that the war history of the United States in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America exudes a "white supremacy stench", but the American media rarely mentions the influence of racial factors on their war decisions. Structural racism makes it unlikely for Americans to truly focus on people of color among the victims of war.
