Pirate Attack: "The Suspect is 6' Tall w/ Blue T-Shirt, Blue Jeans, White Hat White Sneakers" - Race Withheld For PC Reasons



Come on people. Do we have to be this politically correct?

Why is it permissible to give a description of the clothing that the Pirate was wearing but not a definitive description of his race?

The first thing I thought of when I heard this report's evasive attempts in regards to race was the boxing match a few years ago when a Black guy and a White guy were in the ring. The commentators referenced each of the boxers based upon the color of their shorts rather than saying "the Black guy" and "the White guy".

In the case of the Pirate - they should have included the guy's race to insure that he is captured.
