A white male committing a crime drives less clicks. If a Muslim is in custody, we would be seeing more media coverage. If it's white male in custody less coverage. Media cares about race/religion, I do not.
Maybe the reason that the news outlets are not chasing the reason for this crime is because of the race or religion of the man in question. Intra-race crimes get less clicks therefore less coverage.
Inter-race crimes = more coverage = more investigative work as to motive
That's not what he's saying nor what happened here.
What happened is someone speculated it was a white Christian man.
That's not reason. That's rascism. Just because it's against whites doesn't mean it's not racism.
No person should be profiles because of their skin color. no one.
I can see that mentioning race, in a reply to commit about motive was wrong. I was speaking to coverage of crime through the prism of race rather than motive. I did not intend link motive to race but I can see that it is logical interpretation but was not my intention. Apologies.
And with that, you have proven yourself as a person and not a Nazi.
So while I cannot speak for the o.p I can for my part say, no worries. Misunderstandings happen
Hands up. My comment was to "coverage" of crimes though the prism of race rather than to your comment which is directly related to the lack of reporting of motive of the crime. I see that it was not appropriate. Apologies.
Its how the media works my dude. They're mostly owned by fatcat billionaires. Its largely probably not even about clicks at this point as it is about finding groups to "other" your viewers/readers into being afraid of.
If people started hearing about how the largest demographics are going insane because rich people want more money then even the really racist people might start asking questions.
