If Gabby Petito had brown skin, would it be the national story we are witnessing?

27. Agree

And some of those other missing also have modest followings on Youtube and other social media.

Doesn't mean this shouldn't get some coverage and doesn't mean this isn't a horrible tragedy. But the fact is that this is a young pretty white girl, so the media is going into overdrive. I feel just as bad for the girl and her family as if she was not getting this attention.

And the reason why this is a hot button issue to many, is there are countless stories of missing black and brown girls whose families can't even get the local media much less the national media to care. There are thousands of missing people right now, their families are desperate to find them and the media only has time for pretty white girls.

We live in a society that values people based on their looks, their race, and their upbringing. That's what's on display here and what is upsetting people.
