I agree with you. All details, including race, should be relevant. I did not find anything racist in your original post.

I am Hispanic and if you had written, “three or four Hispanic kids assaulted me” I would not have been offended. If you had used a derogatory term for Blacks, or Hispanics, or whatever, that would have been a different matter.

Apropos to your post, crime rates are on the rise in most major urban areas.
