why is toronto star so afraid of saying black - crazy crime in toronto

[Jai]

there was a very crazy criminal incident yesterday and toronto star thinks they are helping by giving suspect descriptions that basically idendify anyone without trying to be much more specific when they have more suspect information. i mean if you can tell us he had a baseball cap (which a person can take off) then you should tell us what race they are


TORONTO STAR

They don't want to feed the racist.

Why do you need to know what the criminal looked like?
Are you gonna get up and go catch him?

[ianlester]

the star description's are so vague too.

Its because the Star doesn't want to risk offending the black community and losing newspaper sales to the 1-2 blacks who can read.
