    Funny how last time this happened the headines were: “Arab immigrant attacks swiss family with machete.”

    And now that it’s a Swiss man, they don’t mention nationality or race in the headline.

      Here is the original associated press title: A man armed with a machete attacks his neighbors in Switzerland, wounding 5

      They didn’t tell us the age of the assailant last time or the victim. I’m guessing they tend to choose words for the headline that might have the most impact.

      “White Swiss man wielding a machete attacks other Swiss people and injures possibly white Swiss baby” Just doesn’t seem to really fit in a headline.
