Identify any unnecessary and potentially offensive references to gender, race, or other features in the following passage and, as necessary, rewrite the passage in neutral language.Another crime news item: "Authorities who were investigating the Eastgate Mall burglaries last night arrested Lewis Thompkins, a black man about twenty-five years old."
What will be an ideal response?
Unless it is a standard practice to identify the races of all people arrested by the authorities, it is discriminatory to do so for any people arrested. (We've heard some pretty good arguments in favor of the policy of never identifying an arrested person's race.)
