The San Diego Union-Tribune is all about PC. The newspaper’s feature below allows you to scroll through the recent “Most Wanted” criminals — one criminal highlighted per week.

A woman was recently highlighted as “Most Wanted” (scroll to find her). Her horrible crime? Using drugs and low level drug selling. Also petty theft.

Really? THIS constitutes San Diego’s “Most Wanted” criminal of the week? Ludicrous.

It’s pretty obvious she was selected for diversification purposes. Look back on the “Most Wanted” criminals the paper highlights, and you’ll find a “healthy” mix of criminals representing every race and gender. Some of the crimes are serious, others, perhaps MOST, not so much.

The one criteria that definitely is NOT used is the magnitude and violence of the crimes. Nor is the threat to the general populace a factor the editors consider, endangering San Diegans to maintain PC standards by failing to highlight the truly dangerous thugs in our city.

What the paper studiously avoids is revealing the disproportionate percentage of serious crimes (starting with murder) committed by blacks. Nationwide blacks constitute 13% of the population, but committed over 50% of the murders in 2015 (not to mention disproportionately committing other violent crimes). San Diego has the same disproportionate black/crime ratio, albeit it with a smaller black population.

The paper simply will not violate PC rules by having “too many blacks” selected as its “Most Wanted” criminals. Indeed, blacks are SELDOM listed among these “Most Wanted” criminals.

But rather than just bitch about this foolishness, let me offer a constructive solution that won’t offend anyone. Since CLEARLY the highlighted criminal seldom merits the “Most Wanted” designation, simply relabel this feature “The PC-Selected Criminal of the Week.”  Problem solved.

U-T San Diego, Crime Stoppers and local law enforcement are partnering to make our community safer. Every week, the U-T profiles a wanted suspect. If you have information about this person’s whereabouts, you can report it anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-847
