Is it just me or is this phrasing, with its emphasis on "their own people," only ever leveled against communist states? I never hear it used to refer to, say, the killing of black Americans via slavery or the massacre of German Jews.

    It makes more sense if you start with the assumption that liberals view "their own people" as a racial category

      When somebody tells me that "at least the nazis didn't kill their own people", my first guess isn't that they're a liberal.
