So what? FB also exists in non 1st world countries in case you didn't noticed.

You may ignore it since you don't know anyone there, but people from there would appreciate knowing their friends and relatives are safe.

Still, like it was already told, FB did activate the feature also in the Ankara bombings and other occasions for Turkey, there is nothing racist here going on.
