(Fox News) - Police in Chandler, Arizona are looking for a rape suspect who they believe has assaulted five teenaged girls since June of last year — most recently last Thursday. They have released a description of the suspect based on the victims' accounts.
But now a local radio station is criticizing police for using the word "Hispanic" in the description. Mayra Nieves of station KMYL says using the word "Hispanic" is racial profiling — saying Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race — and asking police to describe the rapist as having "dark skin."
Police are not budging, however. A spokesman says it would be "irresponsible" to change or alter their description.
