I suspect the woman in DC who had sextuplets did not get much media
coverage, not because she was black, but because one of the babies was
stillborn. This made the story more somber and the media like these stories
to have cute happy endings. Also, it might not have been clear to the media
whether these were really sextuplets or quints, and quints are more common.

If this looks funny I'm                 typing with the baby on my lap!
