Wow - way to totally miss the point.
- Lefty did nothing wrong by omitting the race of the perpetrator.
- Mentioning race is not a bad thing. When asked by police for a description of some person, they specifically want descriptions along the lines of "he was a black guy, tallish - 6ft? Stubble, shaved head, red sneakers" or "she was white, short, wearing a green sweater, and ugly as sin".
- The issue is when some of our less worldly, and less socially developed members take this as a carte blanche to lift their knuckles off the floor to type a racist tirade onto the internet. "Well, all effin Somalians are criminals though right?", "Most asians poach fish though right?". Want to know something? Once upon a time, a guy in germany started statements like this, "Hey, all our problems are because of the jews", "Jews, they're stealing all our jobs and money". We all know how that ended.
- The sweet sweet irony is that all these stereotyping racists are actually causing poaching to increase. We've seen from a thread on here recently that F&W and SRD are being called out to a large number of false alarms, predominately to "visible ethnic minorities". Congratulations on contributing to the downfall of your own fisheries numbnuts!!
