Am I the only one who notices that the critics are doing their best to pretend that Katrina struck only within the city limits of New Orleans?

We currently have no idea how many died, or what the racial breakdown is among them. The storm devastated an area roughly the size of England. There is every reason to believe that the majority of the people left dead or homeless are white. But the media, partly for convenience and partly out of a political agenda, focuses on New Orleans, causing this to be seen as "the black hurricane."

Even conservative bloggers and columnists are not being nearly aggressive enough in pointing this out.

That is a good pont, Phred, and bears repeating, so I will.
