We're now down to 2-3% of the population. Was that description racist?, sexist?, age discriminatory? Now the police do not have to stop 20 year old clean shaven black men.
Now reverse the scenario, why would an equally accurate description be racist and sexist???? Imagine a person hunt where the only description was "American" or "a citizen" or "human".
