Not necessarily. I have a large screen, so I have to carry it under my grundle.
Try to see it from their perspective. What if an Asian college student posted a flyer with your picture, name, and job title in a public area. I bet then you'd be glad about them sending in a drone and 17 armored trucks through a suburban neighborhood to his parents' house, where he doesn't live, but what if there weren't enough funding for all 17? What're they supposed to do, go in with 16? That old, non-white couple could have had pointy sticks and other mystical Kung Fu accoutrements. It would have been a bloodbath.
That's a common misconception. They were actually very inclusive and made every effort to provide equal opportunity for all people who weren't white, Anglo, Evangelical, conservative, cisgendered, heterosexual, English-speaking, non-poor, American citizens to participate in their unwilling scapegoat program at gunpoint.
They were also usually very stringent about due processes, like carefully collecting and preserving the planted evidence, taking each others witness statements until they become consistent, coordinating with coroners (when applicable) to help them achieve the right results, and working with DAs to ensure the defendant exercises their right to a trial so speedy they'll miss it if they blink.
I apologize for being so argumentative, but I feel I must disagree again. Their diets are well known to be extremely diverse and aside from doughnuts include beignets, crullers, bear claws, danishes, eclairs, churros, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon twists, cronuts, long johns, maple bars, berliners, paczkis, tiger tails, malasadas, and doughnut holes, just to name a few.
