An Inclusive Litany

9/25/02

The Columbus Dispatch reports that after police released a description of a black male in his late 20s or 30s who raped women in their houses near Ohio State University at least six times, they learned "that at least twice this past summer, women delayed reporting possible break-ins because they didn't want to appear prejudiced—the suspects were black men, and the white women felt bad about assuming they were doing something criminal."
