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 don't think it is only about race...but just about who they are selling news too.
People have much more sympathy for something that is pretty and cute than something...not so pretty and cut.
Everyone feels bad for a kitten that is killed, but who cares about a spider. Both are alive, both could be pets...but one is cute and the other ugly.
