Reply to comment by NihFin in Woman Followed Into Manhattan Building, Dragged Out of Elevator in Late-Night Rape: Cops by NetQuarterLatte

maybe, but it's basically pointless to include the ethnicity anyways given how big the city is. "the rapist was white" ok great, that narrows it down to like 5 million people "the racist was black" oh ok, even better, only 2 million people etc

We all know why his race was excluded.

And by your logic, why include any description? Black jacket and pants really? I got fucking black jackets and pants.

i mean, yeah, you're right, including a description of his clothing is totally useless unless it goes out basically when the crime is occurring. a much more useful strat would be to splash the surveillance video with his face all over the place

They leave out the race in all local crime stories. But you never see these comments when it’s a white perp. Geeze wonder why.

It's weird seeing people confuse race and ethnicity.
