News Gwinnett 'rapidly changing'
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Jul 3, 2007 at 9:49 PM
Last evening, 11 Alive aired a story about a Gwinnett County community meeting to discuss crime in county parks.
The meeting followed the robbery and beating of a man watching a baseball game at a crowded Mountain Park field a few weeks ago.
If you get a chance to watch (or read) the story on 11 Alive's website, note the way the reporter tries to dance around the issue of race and ethnicity.
Gwinnett police admit they are stretched thin with 12 park police officers to patrol 35 public parks in a rapidly changing county.
"Rapidly changing county"? Is the county going through puberty? Menopause?
"Rapidly changing" is the reporter's way of (not) saying that Gwinnett County is getting less white and more poor. CL's John Sugg wrote about it last month.
