Wow, the amount of racism here...just wow.
Since when is noting the race of the suspects considered racist?
Are we still that primative that we can't discuss colour without someone yelling "racist"?
I heard an interview with an author the other day. She was black, and African. She was in a store, and went to pay for the item. The clerk asked if she remembered which sales girl of the two helped her.
She said she didn't remember her name. So the clerk asked 'the brunette?'. No, no they were both brunette. "The one in the red shirt?" No, they were both wearing red shirts. The one in the dark pants? "No, they both had dark pants". She was teasing the salesperson, because there was an easy way to tell one from the other.
One salesperson was white, and the other black. But the sales clerk was being so colour sensitive to the black woman, she didn't want to use the word.
Political correctness is a cancer on society when we can't even say the obvious for fear of offending. Like she doesn't know she's black!
