To you as an individual, what is the difference between an American you've never personally met, and a Syrian you've never personally met? I seriously doubt you know every single American down to the 300 millionth to call them all "acquaintances" who you personally care about.
What constitutes a "stranger"?
I'm British-born and I live in a large British city, probably more than half of my acquaintances are either immigrants or descendents of immigrants (I'm from an immigrant family myself), although I know plenty of ethnically British people too. The people I know personally, their lives are not objectively more important in the big picture where my personal feelings are irrelevant, but they do mean more to me personally. That's not a shared nationality thing, I connect with people on far deeper shit than that.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
