Read the article.
Oh. Ok.
I did. Now what?
Your contribution is noted.
@OP - lucky for me I live in a predominantly white country with over 90 % of residents being slightly right oriented backwards rednecks. I think we will be fine for a while at least.
It's interesting, while your country has a tradition of racial tension...a race of the individual is hardly an issue where I come from. I guess my first sentence takes credit for that.
Dwyane Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!

The article clearly lines this out for us. This was obviously the straw that broke the camel's back if we read what the people closest to her were saying.
I think it is the other way around. I think that you are not paying enough attention. Look at the front page there are two clear pieces of evidence of this mental conditioning on display.
Multi-millionaire football player won't stand for the national anthem because blacks are oppressed by whites.
#stopwhitepeople2k16 trending on Twitter, you know, because white people are racist.
You don't even need to reach further than where you are to see the manifestation of this conditioning.
Nice virtue signal though, that was well played.
But perhaps I was too subtle for some. I think it's bullcrap to claim that this young woman killed herself because she feared she would be called a racist. Clear enough?

What Phage is implying is reasons why people commit suicide are usually complex. There might be a trigger event or straw that broke the camels back event that drive them over the edge, but suicide is rarely carried out for just one reason. It usually takes a long time for a person to build to it, each disappointment or frustration adding to the eventual decision to take ones own life.
Seems to me the other reason involved a boy friend and his parents. Since I guess she wasn't Asian it caused difficulties in there relationship. And one thing about teenagers they think relationships are alot more serious at that age than they are.

Her fear of retaliation is mentioned; but perhaps the worst "retaliation" came from the boyfriend breaking off with her after the picture became public.
All we know for sure is that the girl found herself in a situation she could not handle and did not know how to do better.
She had never met the "boyfriend"...
I still don't understand why dark skin and a headscarf would offend Asian people... Can anyone shed some light on that???

I think, most likely, as others have said, there was a lot more going on with this young woman than is being shared in these articles.
It almost seems as though someone (in addition to the OP) used this story to promote an agenda that blames so-called SJWs for her death. There's been a concerted effort to make SJWs out to be some kind of internet bullies.
Crazy chicken world.

Fact is the only people that actually believe all white people are inherently racist are a fringe minority of extremists who themselves are inherently racist. To peddle this myth as if it's a sweeping reality makes you sound like just another delusional extremist on the other side of the same coin.
Personally I hear this hyperbole coming from wannabe-victim white conservatives way more than I do from actual anti-white racists. The way you twisted the above two examples to fit this fake narrative only reinforces that.

Fear of being a racist was the only factor? Other than that everything else was hunky dory?
Asking vague questions without answering them is not really an expression of an opinion. Nowhere in the article does it clearly state the reason for the suicide...other then mentioning of a race...yet you know...that not everything was hunky dory.
I wonder how you know that...

WOW - Right there is a video that clearly shows the effects of watching too much of the Kardashians, Ellen, MTV and believing every Facebark post, ever.
A mammoth display of zero logic and what really freaks me out is that bloody sort of 'sings as it speaks' #in voice that goes with it's zero logic.
Americans, indeed all men, need to cease breeding with this type of female, effective immediately.

In this heartbreaking story, a 16 year old teenager has committed suicide over this brainwashing nonsense.
Really?
