Totally agree with this. There shouldn’t have been ANY physical description. What if Dawn were white but overweight? Would they have said, “Lennie was there with his fat/obese girlfriend” ?? Why add a physical description? If you want to put a photo in, do THAT. Let the reader make such observations.
Hey! @Lennie! Something for your “Heard on TV, yes, really” strips: “It means that Butte County is prepared for any aviation flu outbreak”(Sorry for OT, but I couldn’t find an appropriate strip that you commented on, and this was too funny)

Dawn – I agree with you as to the comment about ‘light-skinned’ and ‘Africa-American’. You are more than the color of your skin.

What a deplorable thing to write! I hope the writer of that article had a very short career in journalism.

Well, it’s funny at the end when Dawn gets mad at you….
