I didn't care for the fact that the majority of Dahmer's victims were referred to as "of color". No, they were black and I didn't hear that said once during any of the episodes that spoke about them. He was living in a black neighborhood among black people and that's why his crimes were ignored for years even though there were several black people complained about him.
