THOSE POOR WESTERNERS IN INDIA

Two days ago, the headlines were screaming that "westerners" under attack in India. As we know this is the nice way of saying white people. Does an Indian descent Canadian or American born citizen count as a Westerner?
Three days later and a lot of ambiguous news empty of real detail and numbers about who the victims were, now we know that from over 150 people killed, about 15 of them were westerners. So, how does Vancouver Sun, The globe and Mail and National Post defend their claim of Westerners being targeted?
Were the so called terrorists dumb, or blind, to to distinguish between whte people and Indians? How come despite their racist anti white intentions only 15 westerers were killed? Media is so lucky most people don't have a long memory nor do they give a shit to question these kinds of allegations.
As to why the media here emphasizes the western angel, they know that people in the west only consider their own loss a real tragedy. So to get people's attention and scare them, you gotta make them feel that it's them who are at danger. Telling people that 150 Indians dies in terrorist attacks doesn't even but it to a coffee table conversation among "Westerners". The last attack on the same Indian city killed about 120 Indians. Do we even remember this happening a few months ago?
An average of 50 Iraqis (non white) die in any given terrorist attack in Iraq. When was the last time you heard a Westerner worry about that?
