The demographic of the accused is information I'd want to know.
While I'm sympathetic to the motives of those who want to suppress the race, nationality, or immigration status of the accused, this suppression itself inflames xenophobic sentiment in the long term ("we're victims of an anti-racist liberal media conspiracy!").
If some particularly strong riot-bait happened (e.g. the LAPD chase and beating of Rodney King), then I'd favor suppression if possible.
