Why indict Americans at large? This was the media’s doings.
We can no longer relate or comprehend to their motivations.
The mainstream media usually do whatever sells. In a white supremacy culture like ours, “White (esp. blonde) girl in peril” sells. “Black girl in peril”? Nah, not so much. “Indigenous girl in peril”? Nope.
White “Americans at large” constructed and continue to benefit from and perpetuate white supremacy culture, regardless of whether they know it and acknowledge it. Don’t blame the media–do your part to actively deconstruct white supremacy culture. And while you’re at it, please smash the patriarchy, too. :>)
