1--The police need our help finding a robber.
2--How do you know?
1--The TV news is reporting a bank robbery.
2--Do they know what the robber looks like?
1--Yes, he's 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, black hair, and about 30 years old.
2--What race is he?
1--They didn't say.
2--The TV news doesn't tell us the race anymore.
1--Of course not. That would be racist.
2--But how can we identify someone if we don't know their race?
1--Don't ask me.
2--Then they also shouldn't tell us if the robber is male or female, because that is sexist.

2--但是我们不知道他的种族怎么能认出他呢?
1--别问我。
2--那么他们也不应该告诉我们抢劫犯是男人还是女人了,因为那会被看成是性别歧视者。
