Missing black woman syndrome

Missing black women syndrome (MBWS) is a term used to describe the belief of many that missing black women generate more attention from the media than from other racial groups or sexes. This observation has been made by many in the non-mainstream news media, but is still a significant view. For example, the disappearance of Tamika Huston attracted more attention than from members of other races who go missing. The counterpart to MBWS is MWWS or Missing white woman syndrome.
