78. The "hatred" and cynicism is NOT directed toward the crime victims.
It's toward the media who ignore all victims who are NOT blond/beautiful girls or women.

This guy mysteriously disappeared:

Do you remember the national news stories about him? No?

Because the news only cares if someone in a very narrow demographic disappears. To point this out is NOT to denigrate blond white women -- in fact, the difference is so obvious I don't know why I'm explaining it.

Do you deny that this happens?

Do you think it's okay that the news ignores all the missing except for the beautiful, blond, white women who go missing?

Why is Natalee Holloway's disappearance more important that that of Mark Ramin?
