BTW, can someone explain why this perp is being described as "medium complexion?

He's BLACK.

Is this more PC nonsense gone crazy?

There are different shades - though I'm black, I have a lighter complexion than many (I'd generally be described as light to medium), while my son is notably darker than I am (he'd be described as dark). (mind you, I'm notably darker now than I was when I was in college)

Can we all give the PC stuff a rest? He is being described as a black male with medium complexion. This means that he is skin is not as dark as black but is not a light as a black person with lighter skin.

Haven't you ever heard of white people being described as light complexion and dark complexion? By your logic, whites could never have dark complexion. geesh.

Well, I'm white, but I'm have a dark complexion and am often described by others just as that....white, with a dark complexion. I've been mistaken as being "black", so that is why people describe me as "white", but "dark complected".

In the range between coal black and mulatto, our perp is a 'medium'. 'S'all relative, sir or madam (as the case may be).
