When exactly will an apology come from the media to all white men?

Some of the hundreds of so called fair news reports:

So far, the police investigation focused on finding a white man in his 40s recorded by a security camera at the car stopped the suspect, taking off his shirt and looking around, said Barbara Celis. However, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and NBC acknowledged being a little hasty to draw this man, since Times Square for millions of people pass daily.

Law enforcement officials offered a more detailed description of the makeup of the failed car bomb found in Times Square on Saturday night, and said they were reviewing surveillance footage that showed a white man who appeared to be in his 40s walking away from the area as he looked over his shoulder and removed a layer of clothing.

Problem is, those cameras - and the distance at which it probably shot - don’t show details very well. Light Arabs (even medium 1s) can look “white” on those things.

But, note how you get all kinds of backsliding equivocation if someone thought some perp was “black” or “latino”, etc - they make sure to tell you you can’t count on camera/eyewitness accounts from a distance in fleeting moments.

Someone thinks it’s a white guy? No such rationalization.
