Because of the amount of people that died, it would be in very bad taste to use the holocaust as a source of humour. People might think that you are neutral to racism or that you're a racist yourself. Six million European Jews and all the other people, were killed for no reason (no valid reason). Gypsies, Jews, nonwhite people, the list goes on. So you see, it would be very insensitive to do so.
After the Spanish-American War, some of the old "Radical Republicans" and other members of Congress opposed the idea of acquiring colonies. A large portion of the Democratic Party, led by William Jennings Bryan, opposed annexation of colonies. Anti-imperialists reminded the nation of our anti colonial heritage. Many anti-imperialists were racists or appealed to those with racist ideas. They questioned whether is was wise to bring "nonwhite" people "under our flag." Many simply opposed the annexation of the Philippines because it would be too costly and would force the US to send American troops into "harm's way" to put down any resistance to our taking over.
Only white landowning men could participate in the political process at that time. Suffrage wasn't extended to those without property and nonwhite men until the 19th century, and women could not vote until the 20th.

The phrase that encapsulated the idea that whites should help civilize nonwhites is "the White Man's Burden." This concept, popularized by Rudyard Kipling in his poem of the same name, suggested that it was the duty of Western powers to bring progress and civilization to nonwhite populations. This notion often served to justify imperialism and colonialism, framing the domination of nonwhite peoples as a moral obligation.
