On April 6, 15 people were killed and at least 14 others were injured when a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team collided with a semi truck in Saskatchewan. Since then, more than $8 million have been raised on GoFundMe to support the victims and their families.
Over the weekend, HuffPost Canada reported on the progress of the fundraising campaign:

And here’s what Quebec-based “writer and activist” — and “happy socialist” — Nora Loreto got from that:

I'm trying to not get cynical about what is a totally devastating tragedy but the maleness, the youthfulness and the whiteness of the victims are, of course, playing a significant role.

I don't want less for the families and survivors of this tragedy. I want justice and more for so many other grieving parents and communities.

Un. Freaking. Real.
Just speechless

That's unconscionable. And we're the people they love to say "lack empathy"?!?

It takes a pretty effed-up mind to complain about the young white male privilege of dead crash victims.
Imagine being this Canadian journalist, so poisoned by your feminist obsessions that you can’t just be heartbroken for the 15 who lost their lives, you must comment on their race, gender, and age. Sickening. pic.twitter.com/Yg8zK2uzvU

That’s some Touré-level sh*t.

Are you sorry yet, Nora? Because you sure as hell should be.
