The man walked into the business, asked for a piece of paper and wrote a demand for money. He left without further incident and no injuries were reported.
The man was described as being about 40 years old, about 6-feet tall, about 225 to 250 pounds and with a light mustache.
Wow, the description avoids any racial description, but offends other gender, age, and physical attribute groups.
Describing the suspect as male is sexist, as the perp could be a woman trapped in a man's body. The facial hair trait is also sexist. So, we better scratch the descriptors "man" and "with a light mustache".
Giving an age range is patently offensive, as age shouldn't be a factor in assigning blame for a crime. So, scratch the "about 40 years old".
By announcing his height, you've disparaged people of moderate stature. So, you'd better lose the "about 6 feet tall" as well.
The overweight are constantly discriminated against, and would be insulted by a weight bias in the paper's report. Better to eliminate the derogatory "about 225 to 250 pounds" as well.
That leaves us with a more socially just description of the unfortunate offender:
The suspect was described as being.
Everyone happy now?
