According to CNN and its contributors, the label of ‘victim’ is only applicable if the individuals in question are minorities.
A disturbing piece was recently published by the left-leaning media outlet. The article focused on the experiences of Hispanic students at the University of Georgia, where Laken Riley tragically lost her life in a brutal incident. The students reportedly do not feel safe, but not due to the fact that an undocumented immigrant is suspected of committing this heinous crime. Instead, they claim that racism is their primary concern.
The article quotes a student who expressed fear after learning that the suspect in Riley’s murder was an undocumented Venezuelan migrant. It also mentions alleged online threats against migrants and Latino students at the university, although CNN admits it has not independently verified these claims.
One student chose not to attend a vigil for Riley and another student who committed suicide out of fear she would be targeted for being Latina. Several Hispanic student groups held emotional support events on the same day as the vigil to discuss their feelings as a community.
The article also features comments from Jean-Luc Rivera, deputy executive director of a nonprofit called Latino Community Fund of Georgia. He argues that the murder of a student by an undocumented immigrant has had the most significant impact on the Hispanic community.
The piece concludes with further comments from the student who expressed feeling unsafe. She calls for greater acknowledgment of Latino students’ fears and criticizes the university for not doing enough to reassure them.
This narrative is a classic example of liberal media tactics, which often downplay white victims in favor of emphasizing minority suffering. While it’s possible that some students have faced unjust treatment, prioritizing this over acknowledging the tragedy at hand is reprehensible.
Even those students featured in the story seem more focused on drawing attention to themselves and their community than mourning their classmate’s death. Meanwhile, conservatives are working tirelessly to honor Laken Riley’s memory, while liberals sidestep the issue and create false narratives.
Her name is Laken Riley.

If the border wasn’t being flooded with millions of undocumented migrants, perhaps the Hispanic community wouldn’t face such criticism. But instead of addressing the root cause, liberals prefer to lament the consequences of their own policies.
If the immediate response to a young woman’s murder by an illegal immigrant is a concern for the Hispanic community, it’s clear that something is fundamentally wrong with this country.
