If Terry Schiavo wasn't white and kind of pretty... [View All]

...and if her condition hadn't been caused by her desperate diet, in an attempt to "look better" and please men...

...would there be as much of a groundswell of right-wing Christian support to keep her alive? Can you see people like Peggy Noonan fighting this hard to keep a black or Hispanic woman alive, especially one who didn't meet conventional standards of beauty?

I also haven't seen a groundswell of non-white faces in those protests on the news each night. Maybe they have issues that are more immediate on their minds, like trying to get food that's not in a tube in the mouths of their families.
