More interesting details would be his disposition, whether he seemed
intelligent and reasoned or hysterical, whether he smiled, something actually
about the occurrence.  I suppose that race might be mentioned in a fairly full
description of the event.  But for that to be the sole description of the man
seems unhealthily focused on race.
