Les Français, sont-ils peu sensibles?

Bob works for Carr Futures, who had an office in the World Trade Center in New York. Now family members of victims are upset with the French-owned company because they won't be getting health insurance. The article says:

In most states, the law only requires that companies whose workers are killed on the job pay life insurance and state-mandated worker's compensation.

A Carr spokesperson said what the company may be lacking in health insurance, it is making up for in life-insurance and accidental-death benefits that will range from $125,000 to $800,000 per employee. Cantor, by comparison, is maxing out at $100,000.

Blah blah racism. Blah blah we hate the French. Blah blah. I don't think people should get special benefits for having a family member die on September 11. I think it should be the same as anyone else who died on the job. The loss of a loved one is difficult, whether it happened on September 10 or September 11 and I don't think they should get special treatment. Am I totally off-base here?
