I don't believe that's what it's saying at all. It's saying we should care about missing persons of all races, and that non-white missing persons don't get enough attention.

The page obviously isn't saying this or what it's being implied to say in the post below. All it's saying — and I can't imagine anyone trying to reasonably deny that this happens — is that American news media tends to give much more airtime to missing white women than to other demographics because the executives assume that "the average citizen" couldn't care less about what happens to said demographics.

It's a load of happy horseapples. First off, any time a non-white person goes missing, gets robbed, raped, or shot, the media is all over it.... along with people screaming this very same accusation into the TV cameras, note the irony if you can. Throw in an accusation from the victim or the prosecution against a WHITE person, and the fertilizer hits the windmill. RIOTS have been started when a black person accuses a white person of assaulting them... even when it was proven untrue. If there's any possible HINT that it might possibly be a crime by a white person against a minority, the media is right there, slavering all over it.

The ACTUAL least-reported category of rising crimes? Black on white hate crimes.

Second, if minority cases don't make it to the front page, it's generally because the victim lived in an area where announcing a crime was committed is like announcing the sun came up that morning. It'd be like having fire alarms in Hell.

The phenomenon of missing white woman/ girl definitely exists. Some people perceive this as a bias against the media coverage of missing and murdered men & women of ethnic minorities, however is this really the case??? You could ask yourself the question WHY does the media choose to cover the disappearance of "pretty, missing, white women" more than other groups? Is it REALLY down to bias???

As a feminist and academic in Crminology and Law, I have studied various critiques and studies on this issue. The main factor is that the press will do whatever is in their best interests to sell newspapers however we as the public and the consumers, are the hand that feeds them. Now, WHY do we as consumers, want to know more about missing and murdered white women than any other group???

Look at newspaper and television coverage of murdered men vs murdered women. The difference I have observed quite remarkedly is that in cases where men have disappeared and are later found murdered, in the MAJORITY of cases, the media's tone is very austere. Unless it is a VERY unusual case, the media does not delve into the circumstances of his death, ie. his private/ sexual life, whether he was tortured, maimed etc. However, even if these details are discovered, the media does not focus too much on it, mentions it fleetingly, then shifts focus back onto the killer/ suspect and his unusual behaviour.

Now, compare this to the murder of white women. Time after time, we are told she was raped beforehand. The media drive is almost primarily focused on this. We learn every detail of her last hours, how she was taped, bound, gagged, tortured etc. The same amount of public and media interest is not observed in male and other ethnic women murder cases. Why is this??? The details of her last hours are told in glorifyingly shocking detail which the media almost appears to relish in, whilst also condemning the killer in some way. Men who kill women are given notorious nicknames, ie. "The Suffolk Strangler". In short, whether we condemn them or not, they are quite simply GLORIFIED.

The media is powered by predominantly middle class, white men and as well as serving the interests of the public, they are also serving their own. There is a damsel in distress theme here, however the degree to which they revel in telling these innate details is incredible. A murdered man is given respect in this sense whereas the media and even the public to a degree, conveniently forget that there was once a personality behind the murdered white woman. Is it possible that sex, or stories of it, sells even in death????
