I distinctly recall lots of non white people being interviewed in the aftermath of Katrina.

Secondly, interviewing Americans caught in a disaster is a long tradition in our news media.

It was well parodied about thirty-five years ago by National Lampoon, when they did a mock newspaper which covered an earthquake in Japan which literally destroyed the country by using a headline saying something like: "Two American Women Have Japan Vacation Disrupted".
