I feel like human supremacy, male supremacy, and white supremacy are entrenched, even in a lot of people and populations we thought of as "progressive" or at least "liberal." Take a look at this essay about "elite white feminism;" I feel like it explains a lot about how many white people aren't particularly concerned by what just happened.
Cards Against Humanity was doing a thing where people donated to fund them livestream digging a hole with construction vehicles. It feels, to me, like a "fuck you" to everyone who's now in danger, by people whose feelings are so much More Important Than Yours that they need to spend $30,000+ on nothing but their own grief.
Sort of like the Democrats who raised $13,000+ to rebuild the (probably insured) campaign offices of people who want POCs and LGBTQIAs+ to die.
