Great sentiment, but not practical.

If you see a man grab your child from your yard, throw them into a car and drive away.....do you want the police to put out a bulletin asking people to be on the lookout for a man with a child?

...........Or, do you want the police to put out a bulletin asking people to be on the lookout for a white, black, latino or asian man with a child?

Do you want the police to describe your child.....as a "human" who was kidnapped........or as white, black, latino or asian child who was kidnapped?

AND......I would also like to ask a question.

Is the term "white" a racist word?

Some of this PC business is starting to get ridiculous, IMO

Couldn't agree with you more. Way too much of it to the point of being absurd and I think it only fuels racism. There are people from every race that need to stop looking for the "racism" in their daily lives.
