According to a Danish economist, I’m a racist. The reason is I made the rather observation that Denmark has few NAM’s and that has a big impact on how their social services work. Judging from his post, I think merely pointing out the lack of a NAM population is racist. That’s not a surprise. We have reached a point that any mention of race or issues related to race is forbidden. I call it observationalism. It is the opposite of whatever causes people to say, “I don’t see race.” I see that on TV sometimes. I guess it means that someone has become so pure, they literally cannot tell the race of other people or themselves.

I thought about that while reading this story. Through the whole thing, get no hint of the ethnic element of the story. There’s a Spanish guy, maybe.  Pedro DeJesus is most likely Hispanic, but I’m probably violating some law by assuming that from his name. Otherwise, this could be a group of Swedes hunting down a Mongolian in a predominantly Nigerian neighborhood. You would think that the news account would mention something about the people involved. After all, a killer or killers are on the loose. Knowing something about them that could maybe lead to their arrest would be useful. Instead, we get “We’re told the suspect wore a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt.”

Good grief.
