Lots of American newspapers are very cautious about mentioning race in a crime report. They generally get around it by putting up a color photo of the accused. But in Britain it has got worse than that. Apparently you cannot specify race even if it might help catch a vicious murderer. Note the excerpt below:
"Six months on from the murder of 18-year-old Kylee Dibble from Barton Hill, police have released a new description of a key witness they are looking to trace. A local woman came forward to speak to the police last week and has given a description of a man that she saw in the area at the time that Kylee was killed. The man was seen walking from Corbett House across the area of grass that leads to Longlands House just before 8.30am. He is described as in his 20s, of dual heritage, athletic build, with plaited shoulder-length hair, and a slim face with pointed features. He was wearing a black zip-up jacket with very dark blue jeans, which were flared at the bottom.

So one parent of the murderer was a Protestant and the other was a Catholic?
