Ive actually heard Nordic being used many times. Probably notice it better 'cause i am Nordic. Though its usually used on Scandinavians only. But we all know English speaking people don't know the difference.

I suppose it's probably happened then, but I doubt it's as common place as the others. Somehow I doubt police in America are radioing in to report a 'Nordic male, late 20's...' etc.

Id assume the police use base races; white, black, latin and asian. Rather then guessing the geographic background.

'Latin' isn't a race, and 'African American' seems to be preferred over black for some reason, which to me is discriminatory. No one sees the need to use 'European American' as a white equivalent, which suggests that white people are (subconsciously at least) seen as more 'American' than black people.
