I think she's right, but I haven't researched the issue -- you just don't hear about the white guy who beats his wife on the 10:00 news, though, do you?

What we hear about versus what we do not hear about can be a "racial issue" if our misconceptions are rooted in racialized untruths. The same applies to media and public sensationalism or untruths rooted in social class, sexuality, and gender biases.
Shinerbock doesn't understand and his insistence in discussing an unfounded "racial issue" is comical because he's playing the *cue echo* "racccccccccccceeeeeee...carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddd dddd." He and ilikehazing are that which they despise.
