The point that these people in this thread are making is that this happens quite often, and also to white males who have sex with white females, so it isn't a race issue.
Their point is valid however, like was already stated, race compounds many issues and this tends to be one of them. That's evidenced by the comments I've read on other boards and in-person regarding this topic. Race may not (read: may not) have been a factor in the fact that he was arrested and so forth, seeing as though things like this happen all the time, but it would be interesting to see if it may (read: may) have been an extralegal and undocumented factor in the sentencing. That can't really be proven but I'd be interested to see the sentencing criteria either way.
