No, I mean that this is 'news' because it caters to a certain form of mild latent racism (more likely prejudice, actually) that still exists within society at large more than in individuals.
For instance, every year there are a dozen rapes at Bonnaroo, but there's no outcry about it in media coverage. Eyes, page-views and click-throughs are drawn to certain stories, and the media covers those stories disproportionally.
