    Finally a crime report that doesn't mention the suspect's race or complexion... a largely irrelevant and growingly inaccurate description that tpp often perpetuates stereotypes.

    For instance, how does a victim describe multiracial people? Does they break it down: well officer, he was 1/4 white, 1/4 native americak, 1/2 black? No, of course. He's just black or has 'dark complexion'.

    And on behalf of the female visitor, I apologize for such a rude welcome to Chicago.

    If we were to issue an arrest warrant for President Obama for his continued war crimes against the people of Pakistan via illegal drone bombings, he would be described as black or medium complexion even though his white, war~mongering, pro-corporate side is why he does it.
