The Rohingya people absent from mainstream media?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/19/insid...-fire.html

It's not a blaring headline story everywhere in the US because it doesn't involve sex and they're brown, impoverished people.

I feel for them, especially the mother in the story above, but I'm not sure what else I can personally do apart from donate to the UN High Commissioner on Refugees or any other organization that's actually there.

Also, Aung San Suu Kyi should have her Nobel Peace Prize rescinded.

All that, plus they have no light, sweet crude oil. The "first world" countries will have nothing to do with them unless there is a profit to be made, or protected.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
