It'd be like saying, being SA'd by a family member is half as bad as being SA'd by a stranger because you're family member provides a house and a fridge full of food.

It's more like saying a missing white girl is more privileged than a missing black girl bc her story gets picked up by the news

So... I typically think of the word "privilege" as meaning, "something given but not earned".

In a white society, the inherent racism makes it much more likely that a the white girl gets more attention than the black girl, I see that.

But the Palestinians, I'm pretty sure, aren't considered White by USA'ians. I can see why the media doesn't give as much time to the genocides in Africa from basic us-foreign-policy .
