Dominican roof collapse vs. Swiss fire media coverage. The whiteness preference theory

both very tragic, sad events. one has gotten much more extensive, multiple day coverage, which willl easily extend to weeks.

230 dead in DR 50 dead in Switzerland

Tragedy in DR fizzled quickly.. coverage much less widespread and in depth in USA.

Tragedies coverage will be proportional to whiteness of people in said country.

Similar to the “missing white girl” syndrome well researched and documented.

although probably not in Europe. The Swiss fire is not receiving a lot of coverage in my part of the planet. We sure had more coverage of the DR roof collapse.
