Introduction
You are a reporter working for a media organization in the United States. A riot has broken out in your city between people of two ethnicities. Ten persons of one ethnicity have been killed and several injured in the riot. You are on the night shift and have to decide if you should mention in the news story the ethnicity of those killed and that all the 10 persons killed were of the same ethnicity.
