So many people are telling on themselves by oh so casually mentioning the children's race in their criticism of CNN's choice of words here.

CNN could definitely have chosen more precise language, perhaps saying, "which caused the car to crash, killing the driver."
And the video of the Uber driver being killed and laying in the street is horrific. Would people so readily share similar video of a White person?
No of course not. White bodies are always blurred if they are shown at all - we saw that in the coverage of the Boulder shooting.

There are certainly issues of race and racism here - just not the ones the right wing media and commentators are trying to exploit.
And please don't tell me not to call the children involved in the death of the Uber driver, children. It's accurate. They are 13 and 15. That makes one barely a teenager.
The man who killed 8 people in Atlanta was referred to as a "White kid from the suburbs" by @thedailybeast.
