newscasters regularly reported that John Smith, a black plumber from Brooklyn, had bludgeoned his wife or had robbed a bank/i> Karen, in the interest of upholding my reputation as an insensitive trouble-maker here, I actually miss that kind of reporting. Now put down your club. The reason is, that I think reporters are supposed to make you visualize the story they are describing, by truly graphic writing -- paint you a word picture. If it were a 7 foot tall plumber, or a one-armed plumber, or a 420 pound plumber, I would want them to tell me that. Otherwise I just don't imagine the scenario for what it truly was. I grant you that skin color is borderline, but we can't deny that that is a part of the picture that I'm supposed to be visualizing. Don't worry, I'm not going to push it any further. JC ;-)
