There’s a difference with missing white girls vs POC, right?

[OddBeMe]

I read there’s 700 missing indigenous peoples in Wyoming. Wouldn’t know that with all the attention on Gabby Petito.

Yes, white girls get more press

No difference

Yeah, I def didn’t mho these fcks…

Its not about 'white' girls its about class. People need to stop making it about race. I said yes to your question cause there wasn't a better option, but really ita about poor vs middle class/wealthy. A couple white girls go missing from a trailer park in Bumfuck, Trailertrashville? Nobody gives a shit. A girl from the suburbs in a prominent state? Send out the amber alerts. Im not downplaying kidnapling/trafficking, I hope that all every scumfuck trafficker gets what they deserve, but people seem to not give a shit when it diesbt affect people like them or when they can't relate to them

Well, it’s more unique. Thousands of blacks are killed each year, many per day… women, old people and babies too. But the media doesn’t like to show the perpetrators as it’s redundant and not part of the agenda. But a white girl, well that doesn’t happen too often and the white community really wants to know… plus she wasn’t killed by a black guy so win win.

[OddBeMe]

Actually more whites are killed…by whites, than blacks are killed.

Missing white woman syndrome is a real thing. The term is used to describe the higher coverage of white women and girls in the upper-middle-class who disappear, compared to coverage of missing women that are not white, women of lower social classes and missing men or boys according to statistics and surveys

I think with Gaggy and so popular with her boyfriend on Instagram with this road trip journey, My own TV news show begged Fox to keep airing her and it escalated more. Plus good ratings for all. Takes the minds of of rubbish that is out there too.

[Paris13]

Thanks to Gag, xx

True, but keep in mind how many white women or girls go missing and it's national news daily?

This national stories aren't often and this white woman in the photo made national news because she constantly posted her life on social media with her boyfriend.

[Anonymous]

You could have used your time and energy into putting your money where you mouth is, but you also don't really care about the missing POC. Maybe on your next question you could showcase some of the examples of these missing POC, in order to grow awareness of their cases. Or was your attention just to further divide people, just for your entertainment?

[Curmudgeon]

Another factor is also the prettiness of the missing girl. I hate to notice it, but pretty girls get better press. Were she more homely, she might not attract as much news.

[Curmudgeon]

In other words, is it the "Whiteness", or the Prettiness? I dare say the latter. Everyone of these cases I can think of, going back to Natalee Holloway, were, well, attractive pretty women.

[OddBeMe]

Yes it’s the media having access to hours of blogs from an attractive person AND the public clicking more and being more interested than missing POC. Double edged

[jennifer_bloom]

I think the reason gabby is specialized is because she was a well known social media personality even before she disappeared with thousands of followers online, she was fairly good looking after all.

[Anonymous]

i like how they're "forgetting" to cover that she was abusing her boyfriend. She was an abusive bitch. How many people on this site have said it's okay for abusive men to get killed by the female they abuse? Answer: A LOT. But I don't think this is about her skin color. Guys are hornballs and they think she's hot, so she getting allllllllllllllll the attention. Sad but true.

[normalice]

It is an issue but I suspect it is because there was much visual aid around this disappearance that made it possible to talk about on television.

[IcedLemonade]

They should get their own nation and be biased against white girls. I want to be able to complain too

[OddBeMe]

This was their nation asshole.

[IcedLemonade]

Damn how come we beat them and got it for ourselves? We must be the superior race

[OddBeMe]

Is that how people are recognized as superior. Might makes right?

[IcedLemonade]

Pretty much.

[IcedLemonade]

Might makes right because it does. The owl eats the rat because it is mightier. Not because it's smart and moral.

[OddBeMe]

Yet the rat has some surprising evolutionary traits. Wouldn’t call them less than

[Sevenpointfive]

if they are important to someone then they will make a ruckus. a nice PWT like her she'll never get found

[KrakenAttackin]

Absolutely correct. Pretty, young, white, females, are THE MOST entitled people on the planet. Nite the FBI is involved, why? The death occurred in WY.

[OddBeMe]

State park. Fed land

[KrakenAttackin]

@OddBeMe. Ah! Thanks for the correction.

[OddBeMe]

It’s not entirely fair against her because she has so much content for tv producers to use.

Poorer people have that one photo…

[KrakenAttackin]

@OddBeMe. Poor people don't have social media profiles?

[OddBeMe]

Well it’s more about marketable social content. This chick was trying to be a blogger or something.

[KrakenAttackin]

@OddBeMe. Is that not 90% of the pretty white girls these days?

[OddBeMe]

Prob. Again not always media’s fault

[Youdumbeotch]

Any female that goes missing that is attractive is suddenly tragic as if her beauty made life all that much better

[ManHater]

Well when black people shoot one another who cares. Besides that white girl would be a far more productive woman to society than any ratchet black woman.

[Anonymous]

I’m a minority but grew up watching Disney channel and romance movies of white girls being treated as a princess like the notebook and such.


It’s in my mind that I have to protect white women. I really can’t control it.

[OddBeMe]

But not a minority girl if she was being assaulted right in front of you?

[Opinion Owner]

I would not be as mad but I would still defend her.

[OddBeMe]

Interesting.

[IncognitoBandito]

Ultimately its about the people who will get attention or clicks, and they think a cute popular girl will do that

[Cheeeyik]

No there isn't if they are innocent they are all the same.

[Anonymous]

As a black woman I've never once heard of a black girl going missing. This story breaks my heart and I can't believe you racists are making this about race.

[Iron_Man]

That is such a shame I’ve been watching the whole story from the start

[Anonymous]

Don't worry about the Indigenous people. They're not missing. They're just out on walk-abouts and vision quests.

[Anonymous]

Oh yes, the same press that was going to focus more about black lives and diversity and less about “white people” problems.

[Anonymous]

how society values people.

white girls > people of color > rainbow people > white men

[karaspara]

Seems to be the case not her fault though

[OddBeMe]

Agreed. Hope they find this asshole boyfriend. Just not sure why only select stories get covered.

[KrakenAttackin]

He will be found and the full weight of the law will land on him for "killing" a pretty girl.

The media hasn't uncovered any past violence (to my knowledge) by the boyfriend, so I am not ruling out a total accident.

[karaspara]

@KrakenAttackin Really hope it was an accident innocent until proven guilty but if he did it he should hang

[KrakenAttackin]

@karaspara. He will likely "hang" even if it was an accident.

[karaspara]

@KrakenAttackin To deal with public outcry? Even without evidence?

[KrakenAttackin]

@karaspara. Absolutely. Social media demands a scalp and they will get one.

[OddBeMe]

Stats of BFs killing GFs Vs “accidents” isn’t even close. I’ll put myself out there: he murdered her and has likely killed himself

[karaspara]

@OddBeMe Has he not been found Yet? Sorry itr's not prime time news here

[KrakenAttackin]

@OddBeMe. It's possible.
