The University of Minnesota has banned the use of race when describing crime suspects when only a "limited" amount of information is known about them. Specifically, if the race of the suspect is known, but some other identifiable traits are not, the college will not release the race of the criminal.
The college uses "Crime Alerts" to warn students of suspects or criminals who may endanger them. However, over the course of several months, the university has looked into how to improve the system. The solution that they announced yesterday: you can no longer identify a suspect using his race if not much is known about him or her.
The University of Minnesota's President, Eric Kaler, explained that their "Crime Alerts may unintentionally reinforce racist stereotypes of Black men, and other people of color, as criminals and threats.
"That in turn," he continued, "can create an oppressive climate for some members of our community, a climate of suspicion and hostility."

Great... an open door for criminal.... yout...
the University Campus will be a wonderland of peace and tranquility when this news gets out
Why not just declare amnesty for black criminals, especially if their crime is against a white person?
how long before they have to drop the gender identifier also?
I hope someone sues to drop racial identifiers from admissions paperwork.
There are now so many to choose from.....
Political correctness leads to delusion and fantasy.
” Be on the lookout for, someone”....
Something bad happened to somebody by someone else.
Be on alert for this life form.
That is all.
No Race-Ism...No Sex....er Gender-Ism
no common sense-ism.
Winning argument. But logic has no place in a politically correct world. This is cultural and civilizational suicide.
how long before they have to drop the gender identifier also?

The word “humanoid” may start being used. lol
Excellent comment!!!
Because of all the transgender BS, perhaps they should not describe the gender of the perp.
I wish they would hurry.
Political correctness may yet get us all killed.
How is it racism if you factually identify someone, and race is part of the factual description of a crime suspect?
That’s OK. We know who they are, anyway.
