The flip-side of that is atrocities by whites against others is either brushed over, or not even mentioned at all in history books. Any attempt to address that is met with charges of negativity, or playing victim. You either believe in the truth or you don't. If any form of racism is called out by people of color against whites, the cries of "race card" immediately go up, instead of actually looking at the incident and acknowledging it. It goes both ways...
It's funny that you have people thinking that the Western media(which is entirely owned by whites) is biased against white people. How can anyone read this and think the media is anti-white? The phenomena is so pervasive that someone even had to make a wikipedia entry for it.
As for why white farmers in Zimbabwe aren't getting much coverage, I'd say it's because anything going on in Africa doesn't get much coverage in general. When hutus and tutsis were killing each other that didn't get much coverage either, nor did the 5 million dead from the civil war in Congo or the 1.5 million dead from the Algerian civil war. The white farmers live in the middle of Africa, and the media generally doesn't give a shit about anything going on in Africa since that doesn't make for great ratings.
