U.S. News’ John Leo sees the issue behind the sniper profiling. And he adds something I’d missed:
Even after John Muhammad and John Lee Malvo were identified, the New York Times said authorities were exploring their possible connection to “skinhead militias.” (This was deleted after the early editions of October 24, perhaps when some alert Times editor figured out that black men are not likely to join skinhead groups.)
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
