Stereotypical Language in an Article about Riley Ann Sawyers AKA "Baby Grace"

The following is a terribly stereotypical passage from the article linked above…(I know it may seem trivial to focus on something like this, given that fact an innocent little girl was murdered; however, I was annoyed beyond reason by this.) How are you just going to generalize whole races of people? It's ridiculous...


A trained artist can look at a skull and immediately tell the race and gender of a corpse. And that's the beginning of giving a name to the unknown."If you turn the skull of a white male sideways, it's almost like a truck hit it. It's just straight up and down flat," said Marla Lawson, a renowned forensic artist who works for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. "The forehead protrudes very little and the chin sinks in. But for African-Americans, they slightly slope at the forehead and they protrude slightly at the mandible and they have these great cheekbones. Their skulls weigh more than white people's skulls, and their teeth will be whiter and brighter usually."
An Asian person's skull will have a wider facial area, Lawson said, but people of Hispanic descent are more challenging because the structures are nearly identical to Caucasians.
