Why,exactly,did you feel it was necessary to include the races of the two people involved? I'm not sure what that added to story (if anything) and I'm sure it had nothing to do w/ why the crime was committed.
All I can do is shake my head.
I work with in a psych hospital with male patients. Once, 2 men, approximately 25 years old, got into a fight. A man I work with grabbed one man, held him against the wall. I grabbed the other from behind, used my foot to throw him off balance, lowered him to the floor, and held him until help arrived,(about 10 seconds)For days he fussed at me for that. I think he was embarrassed he was taken down my a women.
