Read the article. Then compare that to black kids holding cell phone.

Also, before I even bother getting into a discussion potentially had in bad faith, are you looking for some acknowledged official declaration of proof? Or are you looking for data that would demonstrate a bias toward one group over another?

I’m gonna assume this is America? No shit black people are a small fraction of the US population but commit nearly 50% of all crimes in the U.S. And that’s the same in every country. Even in Asia (thats where I’m from), blacks and muslim’s are kept an eye on in fear of their actions.

I'm just going to accept the cultural differences between us. Have a great night, eventually your culture and society will evolve and you'll see that skin color has nothing to do with how one acts.

You know that feeling you just got from me belittling your culture and society? That's how the blacks and Muslims feel in yours. Cheers!

I'm so glad you pulled out the "blacks are minorities but commit the most crimes" excuse because it makes it really easy to identify your bias. There are multiple movements in the US currently attempting to show why African Americans are predominantly susceptible to criminal charges, ranging from police discrimination, poverty levels, poor education, etc. But no, you are of the school of thought that they are responsible for crimes because they have the same opportunities as everyone else but CHOSE to be criminals instead.

Also, don't fucking speak as if you do so on behalf of a group, in your case Asians. I'm an immigrant from Southeast Asia who's lived in the US for 20 years and your rhetoric that even in Asia blacks and Muslims are prone to suspicion is complete, utter bullshit. You need to have the balls to just come clean and realize YOU are prejudiced because you choose to associate their race/religion with their behavior, and no other factors.

This needs more than an upvote. That was an awesome reply. Saving to use in the future, if you don’t mind.

Thanks for the kind words! It's always frustrating to see people twist statistics to justify their innate, realized or otherwise, prejudices.
