Is the Diocese of Fairbanks Racist? (or … Kettler doesn’t hate Eskimos, he just thinks they don’t deserve as much as white victims) Part One

We’ll start with the numbers:

No other diocese has a victim pool that is almost 100% Alaska Native/Native American.

Here is the average compensation for mostly white sex abuse victims in the other dioceses that chose to file for bankruptcy protection:

Archdiocese of Portland: $400,000

Diocese of Spokane: $400,000

Diocese of Tucson: $500,000

Diocese of San Diego: $1.4 million

Diocese of Davenport: $230,000

And finally – drumroll, please – Diocese of Fairbanks: $5,500

Is Fairbanks saying that because the victims are Alaska Natives – many living in remote areas and third-world conditions with little to no access to services – that they don’t deserve as much as “white” victims do?

If they have another explanation, we’d like to hear it.
