No, the event itself doesn't, so far as I'm aware, and I wasn't suggesting it did.  But the easily-demonstrable 'tendency' of ADN and other mass-media organs to publish 'criminals-of-color' photos while usually withholding 'criminals-of-white (pink?)' photos does have something to do with it, IMHO.

Just last year, for example, TWO cases of child molestation appeared on the same ADN 'Alaska News' page (can't recall date): and as usual, white perp--no photo.  Native perp--photo of both him and his WIFE published (she wasn't accused of anything).  That was the issue I addressed, not that of some white kid allowing himself to be lured into turning his back on fairly decent options, and possibly removing ALL options from at least five fellow human beings.

The charge of 'racist!' another poster hurled at me was sheer nonsense.  Pointing out 'racism' isn't in and of itself 'racist'.  If it is, then by definition my 'accuser' is as well.  Screaming 'race-card!' IS playing the 'race-card.'
