4. The media has been avoiding mentioning race
The media has been avoiding mentioning race of the "flash mobs" around the country, and in fact often omit race if the perpetrator of the crime is black.

Let's not kid ourselves, if these rioters had been Whites, or Arabs, or even Asians, race probably would have been mentioned several times in the same article.
