I think you're absolutely right about the "but they aren't white!" thought.
I suspect that such motivations are behind the media virtually ignoring the (forceful) removal of Sun Hudson's breathing tube in Houston, ordered by a court over his mother's objections. He was six months old, and black. And his mother couldn't afford to pay for his care.
That's not worth our attention, but a rich, white, clinically braindead woman is? Why?
