Dude, are you serious?

"A human person robbed the bank at 5th & Main Street today"
Like, duh! What did the person look like???
Was he white, black, brown, yellow...that's part of a person's description.
Sorry, but you can't get around that.
And, that's part of the problem...ignoring the facts just cause it might hurt someone's feelings.rm9792 wrote:Read the newspaper, it is rarely ever mentioned. When you dig deeper you do find a trend in certain areas of town, not being racist, simple facts. Reporters go out of their way to not mention race and especially ignore it if they are illegals.
I know a few "mexicans" who are "whiter" than some "anglo" Americans. And describing them as "Mexican" would do nothing in describing their physical looks.
And no one says, a "brown" male assaulted a womam. I can imagine that i could easily confuse you by saying something like "A Latin male..." and you would probably have a "brown" male in mind, when in fact i could very well be describing a very dark skinned Cuban guy.
