what if she was white?

What if the woman in this book were white? Would the book even exist? In the novel "Just Another Indian" women are murdered and all of them are native. The press doesn't cover the stories because the woman involved are... just indians. But what if that wasn't the case? I firmly believe if the serial sex-murderer John Crawford went after white woman the case would have been solved as soon as it could. justice would be brought to the families. John Crawford would be put behind bars for life IMMEDIATELY. White women are usually not victims in crimes such as this for the purpose that the media would be all over it getting every last detail of what happened. There is such a thing as missing white woman syndrome. This is a term used by social scientist to describe the extensive media coverage of missing person cases, involving, white, upper-class, woman or girls compared to other races, or sexs of people. This "syndrome" shows how sick the media really is. Would this book need to be written if the victims were white? I think not.
