People everywhere care more about people like them than about foreigners. German people were more upset about the 200 people killed in the 2021 floods than about the hundreds of thousands killed in the Indian Ocean Tsunami. It’s sad, but not specifically American. (That said, I always use the number of Iraqi deaths when arguing that GWB is the worst president of all time.)
