Then why is the headline about a couple of unnamed dead guys who were Saray Khumalo's fellow climbers?

This situation is a 29,029 foot lesson that political correctness kills, and it's really not a problem for it to kill.

The black lady made it, tough stuff for you other guys. Check out her studio portrait posing with her ice axe. What a beautiful day for diversity.

Because she's hyped her trip and gotten press attention.

This situation is a 29,029 foot lesson that political correctness kills, and it's really not a problem for it to kill.

Political correctness had nothing to do with it. The same thing happens all the time to all male, all white Everest groups. People die on Everest on a regular basis. And there's nothing to suggest that an Irishman falling off the mountain, or an Indian dying in his tent, presumably of altitude related illness, had anything to do with the presence of a black woman in the same group.

Ya pays yer money, ya takes yer chances.

From another article:

Irish climber goes missing on Mount Everest after reaching peak

"The Himalayan Times is reporting that Lawless fell from a balcony area at an altitude of 27,000 feet. He had made it to the summit on Thursday morning.

The Himalayan Times also reported, “Mingma Sherpa, Chairman at Seven Summit Treks, told THT that Seamus Sean Lawless, 39, one of the members of an eight-member expedition led by renowned Irish climber Noel Richard Hanna, went missing after he reportedly fell from an altitude of 8,300 m while descending from the summit.”

The reason this article focuses on the South African woman is because this is from a South African news source.
