Epidemic of white girls going missing . .
Have you noticed that only cute white girls seem to go missing in the united states? Whats up with that?
Every time I turn on the nightly talk shows all I see is a new white girl that is missing. Whether its from Aruba, or from a college, the common thread is that its a cute white girl . . .
Does that mean that all people from other cultural backgrounds are safe? Maybe white girls shouldn't leave their homes?

I highly doubt all other cultural backgrounds are safe... lots of women go missing everyday, but not all of them make the national news.

That was my first thought as well...maybe to lead to a discussion of why other kidnappings/runaways aren't as well-known?
That has to be the reason for the topic, right?

I would say so. James is being Sergeant Sarcasm.

Agreed. Did any of you see that LT movie "Human Trafficking"? Did you notice the media hype that was portrayed of the white American girl that got snatched up in the Phillipines?

Just a little.  Aren't you, James?
I think this thread was meant to point out that it's only the cute while girls who get kidnapped that make the news...the other ones don't get media attention, for whatever reason.

And by the way, James, can you account for your whereabouts when all of those young women disappeared?
Of course James was being sarcastic. That's his job.
Seriously though, it is an indictment of the media -- particularly calbe news channels -- that they prey on these stories of good looking middle to upper class white girls when there are so many missing people in the country from all races and economic backgrounds.

The most recent semi-famous missing girl was African. However, her case would have never made national news if it wasn't for the fact that her boyfriend was in a band -- the info was passed around to his other friends in bands and dispersed to their fans via myspace and other online sources days before the mainstream media picked it up.

there was a black girl missing who was with some guy from the internet (she was 17 and not that attractive)
the story got almost no press, even here in Richmond.
If she had been pretty and white, they would have known about this in Canada.
I conclude that this country is still pretty racist.

I'd say she's fish food, unfortunately.

The Fox news guys cleared out because Aruba wasn't going to be as fun a place to live on the company dime during hurricane season?
-- I still maintain that the only reason they covered it the way they did was so that they could work on their tans.
