Your multiculturalism tax dollars at work.

That's a regional thing I think. They have no problem calling them black, white, or whatever here.

Several months back, Fox News was reporting "Breaking News" in which a black man was involved in a shooting or something. Anyways, Shephard Smith was giving the public a description of the man and he said "...a black male....". He then paused, looked offset, and apologized for saying that a black man was involved!!

Are you saying that newsmen can no longer call a spade a spade?
