Yes and no, they usually focus in on pretty white girls who go missing but ignore the white slavery rings. You need to stop seeing things through race, it's much more tangled and muddy than that. There is always a counter to these things, in Britain there has been numerous cases of whites being targeted by asian gangs and yet it's only very recently that this has been admitted to. See what they are doing? you are being led into a situation in which you think whites are being favoured and likewise my example shows the complete opposite, the bottom line is this is all about divide and conquer. We are being pitted against one another and distracted from the fundamental issues. Whether this is a deliberate ploy by the media is obviously open to debate but the net effect is the same thing.

well yeah you cant see everything through race cuz thats why racism exists in the first place, but the media does cuz it sells. If shes hideous or ugly theres not gunna be as much coverage as someone who is predominately white and "pretty"...

America is over 75% white, so in most cases a white American is more worried about someone from their own race(which is retarted, i know) then some black girl.

In Brazil, its not really a race issue. Brazil is over 50% white, 35% mulatto/mixed and the rest fully black, Asian, or native.
Its a economical issue. If your a broke white girls who lives in the slums your gunna have less attention then some rich black girl. Only in America, partly due to the federal government especially the Liberals, is that alot of shit is dived into race.

Please don't tell me i need to stop seeing things through race. I'm seeing things for what they are. You talking about Britain, I'm talking about in the US and to add to that, the government is probably apart of it and getting a cut out of the ring. Also, I'm comparing two things white to black missing women. You just talking about white women.. period.

virtuoso:
You do focus heavily on seeing things through race, the way you interpret many things, you would think that white people get a free pass. There is no doubting that racism towards black people exists of course it does but the guy above said it best, they focus in on wealthier pretty girls instead of down trodden black girls and for that matter, they would not focus in on white trash either. So +1 to Machiaveli oh and by the way I am not having a pop at you, you are quite an open minded individual, it's just there is more to the focusing of news than simply having some kind of agenda against one race.

Well, you could argue that a black woman from the gutter was just pushing a lil too much H into her veins. It's just different with people of higher social status. You can bet the media will be all over it if Halle Berry is missing.
