coral,
Description would be relavant in an attack to aprehend the attacker. But the fact that a person is jewish and arson is commited, is not relavnt to the arson.
Now here in Cincinati, there is opposition to the police "racially profileing" This has now been stopped here as the court has ruled the profileing to be decriminatory.
So , I agree that identification is necesary in some situatins and that the describing is not descriminatory in describing an assult. But to say that people that are black should be pulled over and questioned by the police because they fit a profile, is descrimimatory here in Cincy. Other citys are also looking in to this.
