The police need our help finding a robber .   How do you know ?   The TV news is reporting a bank robbery .   Do they know what the robber looks like ?   Yes , he's 6 feet tall , 200 pounds , black hair , and about 30 years old .   What race is he ?   They didn't say .   The TV news doesn't tell us the race anymore .   Of course not . That would be racist .   But how can we identify someone if we don't know their race ?   Don't ask me .
