Probably because we have yet in history to experience a time when white men/women are being are held as slaves, or tortured or thought of as sub human. That is as long as they are straight. White people, me included, have never been the victims of Jewish, Gay or black people on a massive scale. We have never been the target of a Jewish Holocaust, unending gay bashings & slurs, and being subjected to :driving while black" traffic stops late at night that end in brutality or at the very least complete humiliation.
I hope they throw the key away when they lock these animals up. I don't care what color they are, they destroyed a young woman's life.
