do you believe in the term Missing white woman syndrome?

Missing White Woman Syndrome (MWWS) is a term for the disproportionately greater degree of coverage in television, radio, and print news reporting of a missing person case involving a young, attractive, middle or upper middle class white woman, compared with cases concerning a missing male, or missing persons of other races or classes

according to wikiipedia. Whats your thoughts on this?
abc, when you fiind that, show iit to me. i so want to prove this theory wrong. it didnt even come to mind until i was looking up natalie holloway and wikipedia referenced this.
 
I think it is true sailor is right about Madeline had it been a girl of another race she wouldn't get much new coverage and the parents would be blamed.
Of course people are going to say its not true (most likely white people) but it is true. Every time a person goes missing they are white and people donate money to finding it them I can't remember the last time I saw an Asian or Black person go missing and people started donating money and searching day and night.
 
It annoys me. It's like the whole Madeline McCann thing over here. If her parents had been of another race or working class and had left their kids alone when they went to get drunk, they would have been crucified by the press and the general public. But because the parents were white, Catholic, upper middle class, married parents they were given a hell of an easier time then anyone else would of got.

It pisses me off to think that in this day and age people are not treated as equal. If i go missing, i want to be in the focus because i was a normal person who just vanished, not because of my skin colour and background.
 
Yes. It's another manifestation of White Privilege. Missing non-white women are not afforded the "privilege" of worry and televising.
