I guess that's what white supremacy really is. It determines what minority deaths are worth reporting.

His death has nothing to do about race.
Wilbur Smith wrote in one of his novels that if everyone in South Africa were the same colour, the same problems would still exist. It wasn't about colour.
Tyre death brings up the same problem: police who think they are unaccountable.
(BTW, example I gave, it is Tribalism that is the problem Wilbur referenced.)
