Everytime a perpetrator is white, i want to see their race mentioned explicitly in the news account.
Everytime a perpetrator is heterosexual, i want to see their sexual orientation mentioned explicitly in the news account.
Everytime a perpetrator is cisgendered, i want to see their gender identity mentioned explicitly in the news account.
If non-white, queer, or
transgendered criminals or accused criminals get to be seen as representatives of their respective classes, it's only fair for everyone to get the same treatment. Of course, it would be better if these things were not mentioned at all when they are not relevant.
Here's how it would work.
"A man shot a woman to death at their northwest Oklahoma City home then committed suicide, Oklahoma City police said," would become, "A heterosexual man shot a woman to death at their northwest Oklahoma City home then committed suicide, Oklahoma City police said."
"A woman's ex-boyfriend shot at her multiple times, hitting her leg," would become, "A woman's cisgendered ex-boyfriend shot at her multiple times, hitting her leg."
See how mentioning these aspects of a person's identity becomes a subtle commentary on the moral standing of their whole class?
