Same reason I didn't "single out" height or weight - IT IS NOT THE ISSUE BEING DISCUSSED.
Neither was ethnicity or religion, yet you seemed to find it suitable for discussion. Let me make it plain: In an article about Jack the ripper, the author mentioned the alleged perpetrator's religion, ethnicity, sex, and vocation. You became incensed at his listing the alleged perpetrator's religion and ethnicity, but find his sex and vocation beneath discussion. Why?
Which is still completely unrelated to the case as it was back then BECAUSE - it does not relate to the case in any way.
Evidence about a murderer is unrelated to the case in any way? I'm afraid your theory of crime analysis is quite far out of the mainstream.
Aaaaand that's a bingo! Thank you for taking part in "Spot a racist!"
I'm a racist? Constable Alfred Long reported that it read "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing." Detective Constable Daniel Halse reported that it read, "The Juwes are not the men who will be blamed for nothing." City surveyor Fredrick William Foster reported that it read, "The Juws are not the men To be blamed for nothing." Police Superintendent Thomas Arnold had the graffiti erased because he thought that it would cause a riot.
Here's how a non-racist might have phrased a similar sentence HAD the Ripper's murders been in ANY way, shape or form marked with religious and/or ethnic markings or motives.
So, I write like a racist and you don't? Would you care to explain the difference to me?

p.s. I have since read the article and find that the "shawl" and the "apron" are not the same thing.
