Hold up at local amusement park

A gunman robbed Jeepers! amusement park, getting access to the establishment under the ruse of looking for a job. According to the story:

"Police say the robber has dark hair, is about 30 years old. 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds. He wore a white shirt, khaki pants and an orange hat."

It would be helpful if the police had provided some sort of clue to the type of white shirt as well as robber's ethnicity. I know that we live in senstive times, but ethnicity should not be considered a taboo. Its a helpful clue for people to keep an eye out.

Now, if the person was, in fact, Hispanic, I would bet that there would be several commenters that would question his immigration status. While that is an unfair snap judgement, this shouldn't be a reason for police to not release as much information as they have.
