Why worry about urban american racism when we could focus instead on the Darfur crisis?

Why worry about hurricane damage in Florida when Haiti has been completely leveled by Jeanne?

Why worry about homelessness in the US when somewhere between 7 and 15% of rural Bangladeshi's are homeless and even more in the cities?

Where's the balance there?

The point is, it all sucks... but we can't let ourselves ignore one problem just because there's a worse problem going on somewhere else. You think it's unreasonable to get upset about something happening in the US just because it happens to a much worse extent elsewhere in the world?
