[edit] Racial descriptions

I made a few edits to the article, particularly in passages where Bouchet is referred to as "a black," a description that robs him of personhood. Also, I changed the wording "due to his race" to "due to racial discrimination," because the latter makes clear that the discrimination he faced was done to him by other people, not by his race. These are important distinctions when we're talking about racism.--Pinko1977 20:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for that, I absolutely meant no offense in writing it. Staxringold 23:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

None taken.--Pinko1977 06:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
