Be thin hot white blonde or die

The latest example.

I'm very sorry this girl died, and my thoughts are with her family. But why does she matter over all the non-blonde women who tragically died this week? And for that matter, the men?

I will always object when news coverage is this way. We, as American white people (which we all are... right? right?), think we're not racist. But we let this sort of coverage go unquestioned.

Well I'm questioning it. This is wrong. Equal coverage for abducted persons or none.
