36. Exploit it as in make her death no great loss because she's white? I don't understand why

these two things are held as mutually exclusive. One can mourn the death of any woman to domestic violence, as well as understand, and amplify, that the deaths of women of color, indigenous women, don't receive the same media attention and that needs to change. But to toss off a domestic violence murder as "white woman syndrome" because one cannot hold two ideas at the same time - is wrong.
