I think that as liberals, we have a habit of fiercely criticizing problems within our own society, but will gloss over the same (or deeper) problems in other societies as 'cultural differences'. This can lead to a very rose-colored view of the situation in other countries.

It's not like we can control the racism levels in other countries, so why does it matter?

However when you look at countries we materially support (in their carrying out of racist actions) like Israel, liberals do care very much. So it does seem like there's some consistency there.
