The University of Minnesota has discontinued mentioning race in campus crime alerts to avoid “reinforcing stereotypes”.
To their credit, they’ve completely busted the stereotype that a crime alert should actually help identify the suspect.

WithHoldering evidence.
The suspect was male. Late teens, early 20s. Wearing a hoodie. Flashing a “hands up don’t shoot”.
There ya go. Race not mentioned.
Liberalism: When you are compelled to always mention race except when it might lead to a positive outcome.
How soon after the law suit by the second person raped by the same guy, who happens to be
a colored persona person of color will they recontinue mentioning race in campus crime alerts?They’ve been doing this for a long time in news reports as long as the criminal wasn’t white or Asian so you have to learn to decode it.
I guess they don’t mind reinforcing the stereotype that liberalism is a mental disorder.

In case no one noticed, the media has been doing this for some time. They alert the public and/or ask for their help regarding a crime and never mention whether it is a White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc.. Just that the suspect was described as average height, average build and was wearing blue jeans, a dark jacket, ski mask, and a NY Yankees hat. Which narrows it down, since no criminal changes clothes until they are caught.
Pretty soon, someone will point out that it is sexist to mention that a rapist suspect is a male, and that will be eliminated as well.
@ 6, correction, if it’s a white person, they always mention it, it’s when they don’t say that you can assume it’s ABW (anything but white, it’s a highly technical census term)
