I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
Let us not read too much in this and make it a racist issue. There is no implication of any accusations of any wrong doing. Seems to be just a reporting of what is known in a manner the girl can be easily found
I relate very close to this story. Not long back, shortly after I reverted to Islam my family had a similar but reverse situation. One of my grand daughters, who was raised Muslim, decided she wanted to become Christian. My grand daughter inherited predominately oriental features from our Mongol (Lietuva Lipkas)ancestors and most people took here for being Chinese. Anyhow she had numerous Mexican friends in Dallas and did spend a lot of time in the Mexican Barrios. We suspected when she ran away she had gone to live in one of the Barrios.
The newspaper story was very similar to that one except it was worded as an Oriental girl was believed to be in the Mexican community seeking information about Christianity. The story reads almost like the story of my Grand daughter, just a reverse version. If the paper had not stated, oriental girl, in a Mexican neighborhood, she might not have been noticed or not recognised as the girl in the paper.
Fortunately all ended well. A Mexican family had taken her in and when they read the story they contacted my daughter. They turned out to be very nice people with no bias against Islam. After a week or so she returned home of her own free will and stayed with Islam.
