Reply to comment by [deleted] in Missing people in Massachusetts: Here are 15 people of color that are still missing by ArachnidGlittering34

In light of the most recent missing persons posts on this subreddit, as well as on the news (Ana Walshe, Brittany Tee, Michael Gray, etc.) OP posted 15 PoC who are still missing in MA and have not been widely covered in news media or on this subreddit.

There's this thing called subtext and most reasonably intelligent people can understand subtext without having to be explicitly told. Do you consider yourself to be reasonably intelligent? If the answer is yes, then that answers your question.

If the answer is no: it is heavily implied in OP's post that news media and people in this sub do not acknowledge missing PoC the same way they acknowledge missing white people.

That is exactly my point!!!! So why not ask the media why aren’t they covering these people? Geez, do you not understand subtext? I’m on your side on this topic

I know you agree with the sentiment, but the fact that you think it's necessary for somebody to exclaim "THIS IS WHAT THE MEDIA AREN'T TELLING YOU" is some silly shit.

(And for anybody reading this, you can say "media is" or "media are." Both are acceptable because media is plural for medium.)
