I didn't hear about that, and it surprises me a bit. Just today I was listening to the Flagstaff news on the radio and some robbery suspects were described as "Indian or Hispanic", because that was the way the victims had described them. Maybe it's different in the Phoenix area. In any event, Arizona is one of the worst states for being stopped for "driving while black", and that does offend me. Of course, we don't have many black people. Mr. Lynx was totally cracked up one day because his boss had called a young black woman a "colored girl", and his boss is a young guy. That's a term we thought was restricted to people like my mother-in-law. lol
