Makes no sense. It cracks me up how they get angry about how if a black woman disappears the news doesn’t care. Since most crime is between the same race then if a black woman goes missing most likely a black guy has something to do with it so the media won’t report on that. Also it does seem if the missing woman regardless of race is attractive the case gets more attention. An overweight middle aged white woman who goes missing will most likely not get endless coverage
It also ignores the basic correlation.
Missing black women is usually due to drugs, prostitution or both. Both of which are "disposable" people that nobody really cares to look for or risk themselves trying to help. Its the same across any other category. No one gives a shit when missing white hookers hopped on meth don't come home either, and that's probably a huge percentage of those too.
The attractiveness helps, but its really more of a case of there are more white people who aren't ultra poor ruining their life, so there are more cases of them missing while not being precluded from people's empathy.
Very true
