Applying a stereotype to an individual because of a shared characteristic is unfair and wrong. However, when an individual behaves consistently with a stereotype, one might, if they’re intellectually lazy, assume that the stereotype has been validated. Is that what the newspaper is afraid of? Are they saying their readers are stupid? And since when is it the job of a newspaper to critique or validate stereotypes? How about just reporting the news?
Now on to our next story about how all white people are inherently racist.
It appears to me that the Poolice are looking for one of those deeply tanned white supremist.
Racial “equity” aka black privilege.
I thought the stereotype of a mass shooter was a white guy. A black dude would be going against that stereotype no?
The white supremacist narrative is quickly proving to me Bull Shiite.
Back in the 1980s in Minneapolis, the Star Tribune did something very similar. There was a long series of about 25 home invasions where 4 or 5 individuals would enter a home tie up the man and gang-rape the woman. The Star Tribune always said that the descriptions given were “too vague” to be of any use. However, the local neighborhood paper that was always tossed on our doorstep did give the descriptions. They gave an estimate of height, weight, age, clothing, hairstyles of 4 men with the notation that the 4 were sometimes accompanied by a 5th man who was an American Indian with long braided hair, followed by his height, weight, and age estimates. Naturally, the other 4 men were all black. Within a matter of days after our neighborhood newspaper released the description all 5 were rounded up, and their reign of terror ended. If the Star Tribune had done the same thing weeks earlier they could have save a lot of misery. Essentially, they would rather see people brutalized over a prolonged period than bring the terror to an end.
In trying to avoid perpetuating a stereotype, the Austin American-Statesman succeeds in perpetuating the stereotype that MSM outlets are more interested in perpetuating the Leftist narrative than in reporting the basic facts.
Who in the world would consider the Austin American-Statesman a newspaper?
Well, I can see where that description could cause some people to see the suspect in a stereotypical fashion.
There's that....
The idiots don’t realize that by saying this, they are perpetuating the very stereotype they claim they want to avoid doing.
The leftist media is the information warfare wing of the democrat party.
Idiots and their hyphens. I never saw critically injured have a dash in the middle. I can go read a dozen different other articles on the same subject. I can’t read past the stupid hyphenations.
There’s nothing major about the Austin Un-American Stasi
There is one suspect described as a black male
Wait! Whut? I was told white supremacists were the biggest threat.
The correct description WAS supplied by the AUSTIN AMERICAN; they gave the most accurate description of any news source!
To quote the AUSTIN AMERICAN “HE LOOKA LIKA MAN”, you just can’t get any more accurate than that!
