Is this scenario racist?

[Villainaire]

On Fox News today (that's the only channel that's on at work) the anchorman was discussing the Duke rape scandal. He was arguing that since the public knows the identity of the accused, they should also know the identity of the accuser.

I've never heard people argue for the accuser's information to be public in any rape instance. Ever. I don't remember news anchors talking like this when Kobe Bryant allegedly raped the [censored] in Colorado.

Is this a race thing?

Maybe I don't watch the news enough and this happens with every other rape case.
