This is called whataboutism. Problem A is somehow not bad or notable because of problem B. It is a logical fallacy that increases the mental energy to actually initiate problem solving by lessening all problems down and constantly redirecting focus.

Given the scale of our society it should be, and is, possible to care about and solve multiple problems without putting people down over which ones they talk about or care about.
