Gee, if only we knew what race he was

NEW YORK - The NYPD is searching for a man after a bizarre attack on a food vendor in Times Square.

Police described the suspect as roughly 6'2" tall, weighing 160 lbs, with an athletic build, and with short close cut dark hair.

They'll show the video of the guy but don't fucking dare mention his race.

Back about 10 years ago, McClatchey Publishing, who owns my old hometown paper The Modesto Bee, decided to quit mentioning race in their descriptions. It was pretty easy to figure it out though because the editor would slip in clues. If the suspect was white, they'd give the hair color and say pale complexion, Mexican was olive complexion with black straight hair and blacks had dark complexions, brown eyes and tightly curled black hair.
