Reynoso, In the city where I live, the local TV news folks, when discussing crimes and their perpetrators, will always identify suspects as "whites" or as caucasians or occasionally hispanics if that is how witnesses describe them.
However, if the suspects are black, the news reporters NEVER MENTION this - instead, they post a picture or a sketch obviously depicting a black person - but make no verbal comment - just show the picture !


Exactly my point. It's amazing those consensus drawings done by artists that have been employed by the police to interview witnesses end up so close to what a suspect looks like. Now, I suppose we have a new ethnic group that is unmentionable on TV because of political correctness. Speaking of political correctness, if it's the right thing to do, why is it just an American practice?
