Why are the missing co-eds shown in the media always honeys with blonde hair and blue eyes?
Sorry, folks. I feel bad for them and their families - but the blatant discrimination bothers me.
This comment bothers me. There's no discrimination.
I think nutshell has a point. At any given time there are no doubt dozens, perhaps hundreds of active missing child cases in the US. Obviously not all of them make it beyond a mention in the local paper.
No there isn't.

Why don't you actually try to answer my question or supporting your conclusion?
I hope BYU puts more effort against UCLA. Otherwise, they're doomed.
You're the person who presented an argument with NOTHING to back it up. Why should I put more work into the rebuttal than you put into the argument?
Are you changing your argument? You were arguing hair color and eye color. Now, you're arguing that the bias is skin color. Make up your mind.
The NMPH notes that those cases that generate the greatest publicity are those where the missing person is white, middle-class, female, and from a stable two-parent family, and where there is no indication that the missing person ran away from home.
The following women have been mentioned in the media as possible cases of Missing White Woman Syndrome.

This thread is not about Camille Cleverly, but about the discrimination in reporting missing girl cases.
But that is just one example of discrimination. I'm sorry, though. I didn't realise examples, even when just quoted, were inappropriate for this thread. :sorry1:
Maybe stalkers, rapists, and serial killers prefer to pick on pretty blondes.
