But it's a little different when it's multiple persecuted groups in the same society. In America, black people get more attention than Latinos and Asians. And they all get more attention than the native Americans which practically don't even have a voice at a national level.

To resume: you’re probably aware of particular persecutions in other countries but those happening where you are living at will take precedent and media attention.

The Romani are currently still treated poorly and still get relatively little attention (many people also argue in favour of using a racial slur to refer to them). Just this year a Romani man was killed by Czech police who knelt on his neck.

Everything else seems to be fairly unrelated. Romani tend to have basically no capital, and despite stereotypes, are not in the habit of deciding to set up shop in wealthy areas and trashing the place in response to their mistreatment.

The Romani are always mistreated back home. Displaced and abused and because many want them gone, I think it’s easy to sweep the persecution under the rug. People just look the other way.

When the Holocaust has more priority than the numerous persecutions of Native Americans in US history books and media, there's a huge problem. It's also a huge reason why I have become so indifferent to BLM protests, and sympathize more with Asians.

I have agree with your vision, that we do not give enough attention to the persecutions of native Americans/Canadians, compared to Black and Jews.
We must such a bad news of the bodies discovered near a Canadian (school), but we forgot these bodies did not appear by magic. its just that before this year, we paid next to no attention to the cultural genocide we committed against the natives nations...

Sorry OP, that wasn't meant to be a jab at you, but perhaps a validation of your point that certain groups get more attention than others. Everyone and their mother in the US thinks that they're being persecuted and usually they blame the whites for all their problems. In the case of the Palestinians or the Uyghurs, the media organizations in their overlord countries don't go on about their hardships. They either brush them under the rug or try to justify them.

Or maybe domestic issues receive more attention than international news?

okay in deference to thyrgga this doesn't really address their point
they were talking about media orgs within those countries, not anglophone media ignoring foreign problems (which tbf they both do or report horribly)
