Sounds quite plausible to me, Hillel, as far as it goes...

You're right that there is such fear nowadays about being seen to be prejudiced or racist or whatever, that people don't dare make any written reference to such aspects whatever when discussing a person or a situation...even if that reference might have real bearing on the situation.

This is deeply sad, and has not helped the cause of human brotherhood one bit...or should I say "siblinghood"? (groan...)
