Translation - we only reference race when a whitey does it.
In a city that all, regardless of politics, concede is quite segregated how can it NOT be central to a story of a preconceived mob roaming the area around a university campus? In other words, isn't mention of race especially in relation to location/neighborhood the default position instead of the other way round?
I don’t know if that’s actually the case for the Trib but news outlets here locally inadvertently reveal their bias in this exact way. If it’s a white guy they mention it - if no mention then it’s pretty easy to guess the rest.
