Young white girl feared lost at sea

[jtsunami]

let's be honest here, if the girl was black, nobody would give a shit. sad, but true.

that is what I was implying, it is ridiculous they put young white girl in title, like she is actually more important than young black girl lost at sea.

Bullshit. Of course they knew the risks as their 17 year old son already had accomplished the feat.  They prepared for it by buying her an expertly crafted vessel with all the features she would need.  Of course they knew the danger else they would have just made her do it in a wooden Row Boat with no provisions.

unecessary risk with nothing to gain either way

You know, I wish my folks had enough money to buy me a "expertly crafted vessel" so that I could stupidly try and be the youngest person to sail around the world...especially during a world wide Recession and hightened security risks and pirates and natural disasters and the fact that the world itself is changing---a natural cycle for Mother Earth to do. It possibly would have been better to steer her into carting, F1 is more lucrative, and real sailing, I'm talking about the real shit, ain't no joke, watch the Volvo Race...

And you could go one step further and say if it was an arab girl, we'd actually be hoping she'd wind up on the bottom of the ocean.

She's white, rich, sorta pretty, and in 2 years, she'll be banging a GetBigger (or 3). 

Unfortunately, she was rescued by the French, a shame she will never live down.

Must have been by accident, retreating from somewhere.

See, if this had happened off the coast of Darkest Africa, and there was some plot twist whereby she had to service all of the rescuemen, then THAT would be newsworthy.

Lets be real honest.  NO black girl would own a boat and no way would they be out in the middle of the ocean by themselves

I'm all about degrading princesses.  After I beat Super Mario Bros and all I got was a hug, I was scarred for life.
