I was also shocked at this usage. Why employ such charged language in this way? It’s like if there was a holocaust on poverty or something announced by Germany.

- shard972 9y agoBecause it was only chinese that died and we westerners don't empathize with chinese as much? I know that's a bit offensive, but as you said you would see a headline about the holocaust on poverty, or the genocide of african rape or the shoa of fake shekels? But what about the holodomor on corruption? Does that sound like it could get past a non-ukrainian editor?
