As a kid, I always thought of the USA as a "melting pot," with forefathers from different places and different walks of life coming together to create what we know as the United States of America.

So I am a bit puzzled why, in 2015, our news media still finds it necessary to point out race/ skin color in the title of a news story.
"Cincinnati police officer indicted in shooting death of black man"

At least this one could hold it to a line right below the title:
"Cincinnati prosecutor says Ray Tensing ‘should never have been a police officer’ as body-camera footage is released of white officer killing unarmed black man"
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/29/cincinnati-police-shooting-samuel-dubose
I don't see them point out the skin color of the officer being charged, at all in the news story. Did I miss it?
What do you all think? Are you seeing this, or do I just the sites I am seeing?
Could be a poll, but I would rather see the discussion here.
