The more unsettling truth is how the world became interested in someone like him even though he was mostly an asshole. This article says more about human nature and our tendencies to make unwarranted assumptions based off of superficial qualities then it does about him.
Would he garner the same amount of attention if he wasn't white or good looking?
- as1mov 6y agoThis was my observation as well. I don't think this case would've gotten the same amount of attention if the person wasn't good looking. There are countless Doe's missing for whom an army of online strangers hasn't sprung up and made their mission to identify the person (and some unwarranted expectations based just on a bunch of photographs).
- mbrodersen 6y agoAgree. I have noticed that when bad things happen to good looking white people it gets 100x more attention than if it happens to ugly/non-white people.
