“Our genocides are the good genocides” thinking persisting this long is baffling. Even more disturbing is these people are in power.
Is it though? People hear what they want to hear and believe what they want to believe. No one wants to believe that their privileges are predicated on suffering elsewhere.
Westerners in particularly have always been very "heads in the sand" when it comes to modern history but it's not surprising. Every nation struggles with the darker aspects of their history.

As long as you critically stan a state, it's okay to support genocide. /s
