LOL. Now, I'm cherry pickng a definition. First off, ONE of the definitions of 'ostensibly is that outward appearances MAY be contrary to the true meaning. But one of the other defintiions of is apparent, evident, or conspicuous.


Use either definition you want, that still doesn't make what I said the equivalent of saying I'm unwilling to admit this was racially motivated.

Because I don't know the particulars of the case. I assume this crime was racially motivated, but you never know.
