'We don’t need to ask ourselves if our response would be the same if Russia unleashed their horror on a country that wasn’t white and largely Christian.'
MSNBC's Joy Reid argued on “The ReidOut” Monday that the only reason "the world" cares about the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is because it's happening to a "white and largely Christian" nation.
"As the world watches the devastation unfold in Ukraine, nearly 4,000 miles away, another crisis is deepening that we don’t hear much about in the U.S., and that is the war in Yemen," Reid began the segment.
"The coverage of Ukraine has revealed a pretty radical disparity in how human Ukrainians look and feel to western media compared to their browner and blacker counterparts, with some reporters using very telling comparisons in their analyses of the war," she continued.
Reid then played a short video montage of 3 reporters, 2 from European networks, describing Ukraine as a “European” nation and the Ukrainian people as "European."
"Let’s face it. The world is paying attention because this is happening in Europe. If this was happening anywhere else, would we be seeing the same outpour of support and compassion? We don’t need to ask ourselves if our response would be the same if Russia unleashed their horror on a country that wasn’t white and largely Christian.”

Over on Twitter, folks had a few suggestions for the MSNBC host:
Explain to me how anything happening in Yemen involves the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons. Yeah, that\u2019s the difference, Joy. WTFingF.— Steve Fronabarger (@Steve Fronabarger) 1646756692

Her beloved Biden is now wanting to cut oil deals with Iran, who's backing that conflict she's talking about in Yemen. Hypocrisy..— Carlos E. Torres (@Carlos E. Torres) 1646756629
How many of those other crises you mention is your network covering Joy? How many are you covering? Stop trying to divide people by race. It is not helpful.— Deirdre Robinson (@Deirdre Robinson) 1646751290
What I have observed is that Reid and others like her are actively teaching racism in spite of so many in our country working to progress onward. Strange.— Dada (@Dada) 1646754728
She's even free to go to Yemen and report. What is she waiting for? They don't have 5-star accommodations or limousine transportation?— Scott Chastain (@Scott Chastain) 1646744205
