Then there are messages like this one, which arrived Friday morning. I share it, verbatim:

My wife, who is a staunch republican, commented on today鈥檚 Star and it鈥檚 high school graduation pictures. Not one 鈥済ringo鈥� in the paper. Well, there was one in a picture, but he wasn鈥檛 identified. White have now officially become 鈥減ersona non grata.鈥� I know the Star is partial to minorities, but in the last few weeks, hardly a White student has been name in graduation pictures. Are White kids not graduating these days?

It鈥檚 too bad that the PC game has gone so far to the left. The Star is should be printed without passion or prejudice for any group. The pictures definitely do not depict the racial balance in our society, nor it鈥檚 demographics. Please be far to all races.

This is coming from a person who has 80% minorities in his family.

Oh yes, let us take a moment of silence for the photographically oppressed white people, left off the front page on occasion.

The solipsism necessary to look at photographs of young people celebrating their graduation from high school or college and notice their apparent ethnicity, not their achievement 鈥� and then somehow make it all about you 鈥� is pretty major league.

The photos the emailer complained about were of graduation at Tucson Magnet and Palo Verde high schools.

Both were filled with joy, a sense of accomplishment and emotion bubbling over into hugs and giant smiles. The photos capture the scenes and tell the story of graduation.

And yes, those happy young adults pictured launching into the world appear to be Latino and Latina. Most of their classmates at Tucson Magnet and Palo Verde are, too. I checked the enrollment numbers.

Should that matter? Yes, and no. The usual, and unfortunately well-deserved, complaint about news media is that it鈥檚 too white, both in coverage and in newsrooms.

Taken as a whole, journalism and the entertainment media have traditionally done a grossly inadequate job of reporting on people who aren鈥檛 white, male and middle class.

People of color, people with disabilities, people without wealth, people who are LGBTQ, people who aren鈥檛 Christian 鈥� they have been too absent in news coverage, television and movies for far too long.

People from all walks 鈥� and wheelchair rolls 鈥� of life must be in our reporting. Accuracy requires inclusion. That can be a frightening thought, to some.

The Friday message to me wasn鈥檛 the first Mr. Emailer sent to the Star, complaining about what he saw as a dearth of white people in the paper. Two weeks ago, he sent this note to the news department:

I was reading the Star yesterday and this morning, nothing new. in every section of the paper, on the front page,is a picture/story about Hispanic people. Saturday鈥檚 front page, UA grad, Hispanic. Aren鈥檛 any White kids graduating this year? Not to mention, the anti-White column by [Editorial Writer Luis] Carrasco about how minorities are always, 鈥渟uspect.鈥�

I don鈥檛 believe the Star represents our diversity equally. The Hispanic in the community is certainly not 90% of our population, yet. I realize the Star is on the left, but there鈥檚 a center and right side also. I鈥檛s almost like White people are supposed to be ashamed of being White. It鈥檚 like today鈥檚 generation is being blamed for everything our forefathers did. I believe, 鈥淭he sins of the father shouldn鈥檛 be placed on the son.鈥� I鈥檓 innocent until proven guilty.

Wow, that is a lot of white privilege baggage tacked onto a few graduation photos.

I鈥檝e said it before, and I鈥檒l no doubt have to say it again, but the Star鈥檚 news and editorial departments are separate.

We don鈥檛 tell the news reporters or editors what to cover, and they don鈥檛 tell us what opinions to have. They report, we analyze and opine.

And, for the record, not all non-white people are 鈥渓eft鈥� politically and not all white people are 鈥渃enter and right.鈥�

So, Mr. Emailer, if you鈥檇 like to see a photo of a white person in the Star, just look a bit up and to the left.

Yep, that鈥檚 me.
