Is white people's live more precious?

Genocide and starvation happen everyday.The london attacks are just more daily death.

White peoples lives are no more precious than any other colours.
Should we be disreguarded/less important because we are white?

We knew there was a threat of bombing and now its happened its reported on because we love our country and the people in it, like I hope all people do with their own country.

Not just white people died in the London bombings.It has been widely said that the bombings werent aimed at any race, gender or religion, it was just random murder.

The 'just more daily death' comment was very casual.It seems we are becoming to used to murders

I was casual when I said it.Iv'e been an activist since the civil war in el salvador.After awhile you get used to the death happening all over the world. Others take no notice intill it's in their own back yard,then it's a big deal.I hope the people that died in london rest in peace white or not

A single event killing lots of people always gets more attention than a number of small events killing the same amount of people. Plane crashes get more attention than car crashes.

Also news get old. There has been a lot of attention around Iraq, and another bombing there doesn't signify any new development, the London bombings do.

Finally events in the western world does attract more attention here than they would if they occurred elsewhere for the simple reason that they seem a lot closer to home. I don't see ethnicity figuring in, but both nationality and location is important.

Re: Is white people's live more precious?

Because civilians were the primary, intended target, as opposed to soldiers.

Remember the world reaction to the tsunamis? Remember the media focusing on the tragedies? Remember the world's response? Did anyone complain? Did anyone mention ethnicity or colour?
