I noticed my local paper does this type of thing but a little more subtle. If a white person commits a crime they just say "Male/Female" and if it's a minority they make sure to put "Hispanic male/female Black male/female" etc.
A similar thing was highlighted by the English football player Raheem Sterling.
The same newspaper printed similar articles on two young football players. The black player had ‘bought a flash pad despite never playing a match’ while the white player ‘looked to the future with a new home purchase’ he too had never played a match.
Edit: the white player ‘starlet buys £2m home for mum’

Why do loaded terms like "thug" even appear in a newspaper outside of quotes?
