  1. Looking at the photo, she appears to be of a black or other ethnic origins.
    Why is this not used in describing her in order to aid her finding?
    More PC in action? – a fuller description would help to find this lady much sooner in the same way as the colour and description of her hair, imo.

  2. Interesting point, Ton. But as there’s a picture of the lady they only need to describe features which are not obvious from the picture (e.g. height and eye colour). Presumably giving a description of her skin colour would only benefit somebody who has a significant visual impairment affecting their ability to see the colour in the image. In which case, they wouldn’t be able to spot her in public anyway.
