The man who was killed was a white male in his 30s, according to three sources with knowledge of the investigation. The Oregonian/OregonLive is identifying the man’s race in light of social unrest prompted by police shootings of Black people.

I can not stand capitalizing black and not other races. Do they capitalize asian now?

The Oregonian @Oregonian · 1h We included information in an earlier tweet about why we identified the victim’s race that was poorly worded. It was not intended to minimize what happened, only to provide context. We generally do not identify race in news stories but often do when reporting police shootings.

I am sure there was a celebration unless the dead man was a member of the LGBT community.
