The story is about a couple suing the taxi commission over racial profiling. Sure it doesn't matter what color skin they have but id hardly call explaining the situation, how and why the couple arein the right to be whitewashing the story. How would you propose the author should have tippy toed around the color of their skin while still explaining exactly what they are suuing over, - which by the way, is the fact that the commission mistakingly labeled her as white being part of the problem.
The article itself has been flagged by users. Rightly so, I'd say, since it doesn't report an interesting new phenomenon or offer insight.
