How does your country racially profile or describe criminals?

[Mortimer]

Südländisch is often used for Nordafrikanisch or Afrikaner.
Police dont use Afrikaner or Nordafrikaner because muh racism
They use Südländisch instead and put it in "

Not really. Only if it is not clear that he is northafrican. And could be turk or such. Then maybe. But if it is clear he is northafrican they will describe him as "looking northafrican". On köln new years eve they described the suspects as males who look "arabic or northafrican". In austria they will describe what those people look like and if they had a accent. They dont use general categories.

They could for example write "an afghan man" they dont use general categories.

In Sweden this is very rare,they do not point out the race because its not considered to be PK

[Jacques de Imbelloni]

The criminal has been identified as a citizen from XXX...

Criminal has been describe like a person with andean facial features.

They're becoming PC I guess.

Australia is also trying to get rid off such descriptions as well.

In Italy pretty much all the crimes are committed by terroni and immigrants. I think something like 90% of the crimes committed by non-gypsy European immigrants are Romanians and Albanians jobs, and they are usually referred to as ''Slavs'', ''people with a Slavic accent'', LOL.



(note: 40-50% of the population of northern Italy today is of total or partial southern Italian extraction, but trust me, the ''Northern Italian'' prison population must be like 70-80% ethnic terrone).

Pretty unfortunate. So they'd just go with non-racial descriptions like "young looking, medium build, dark hair"?

[Zroota]

Criminal's nationality.

But what if they don't know their nationality though?

[TheForeigner]

In Australia, we have:

• "Of African appearance" (i.e. sub-Saharan Africans or "Negroids")
• "Of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean appearance" (Levantines, North Africans, Iranians, Caucasians, Turks, Southern Europeans)
• "Of Caucasian appearance" (Non-Med Europeans, such as Germanic, Celts and Slavs, but ironically usually excludes actual Caucasians...)
• "Of South Asian appearance" (South Asians or "Indids")
• "Of Aboriginal appearance" (Indigenous Australians or "Australoids")

Those of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean appearance can be described as having "fair-skin", oddly -- I think dark hair automatically makes you "Med/Middle Eastern looking" here? Lol. "Of Caucasian appearance" usually represents people with light hair and very fair skin. Example of usage in an news article:

So, how does your country describe offenders or suspects?

Wtf even the police and media groups South Europeans and Middle Easterners together and the "Caucasian" category includes only pale Europeans?! Aussies are seriously stupid.

Not as stupid as the US places West Asians like me and others, north Africans and even Afghans as part of the White category which is absurd since we're not genetically Whites or Europeans at all. The Canadian census is much more accurate than it's American and Australian counterparts honestly since they refer White Canadians as only European Canadians, not the other Caucasoid peoples of the MENA and South Asian regions.
