Race of shooter and victims

Why does the article not make any note of the race of the shooter or victims, despite it being categorized under BLM, and despite the later references to the Trayvon Martin case? Surely this is enough to make this information relevant to the average reader without some tangential notion that it adds bias to the article. 2601:197:301:DB90:8119:EFE0:432A:BF01 (talk) 04:47, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

August 2020, and this has still not been addressed. Kdammers (talk) 08:57, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a context template to draw attention to the lack of racial information—if I have time later I'll see if I can add that in, but in the meanwhile maybe someone working on content editing (with more experience than me!) can fix it.

I understand that writing an entire new section on the case's broader context in relation to racial justice requires some effort, but I'm a bit appalled that the article has gone this long without even a mention of the races of the people involved. It took less than five minutes to add a mention, and most of that time was just verifying that their races were already in the citations. This should not be taking so long.

So an anonymous user removed references to the races of the perpetrator and victim. I've added them back. Is it possible to get more eyes on this so that we can get this whole thing sorted out? Waterfire (talk) 23:40, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
