The story would be just as disturbing if it were 16 male teens assault 15 year old girl.

It's irresponsible reporting and frankly the media needs to be held accountable for the way in which they spin the news.
Read the article, there is absolutely NO mention of black/white anywhere in it. It's not even implied!

Undoubtedly, if this happened in a US school, the headline would shout "Black Teens Rape White Girl!!!!" and I think that is what you are getting at - but you should at least read the actual story before making such statements!
