If the victims said the attacker was "white", the police would be looking for a "white" guy, regardless of nationality. If he was "brown", that term is very generic, meaning light-skinned black man, Hispanic, Meditteranean, or George Hamilton. If he was described as 'black', police would be looking for a "black" man, whether a black man, dark Hispanic, or Ted Danson.
| Yeah I thought that was ridiculous.. talking about racial profiling with this. They're looking for somebody Hispanic with specific qualities.... the guy's "Hispanic!" - just like you said coffee.. if it was a white guy.. they'd say white, black, black - whatever! It's like they took it as meaning all Hispanics are rapists or something :P
