> See also: driving while black "driving while black" is not a real thing. Here's the study that debunked it: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07418820500088952 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07418820500088952 The phrase/meme of "driving while black" came about because in the 1990s black drivers were highly overrepresented among those pulled over for speeding in New Jersey. But on inspection it turned out they were only overrepresented among people pulled over because they were equally overrepresented among people who were speeding. (this was checked using hidden speed cameras to see how much people speed when cops aren't around - those who commissioned the study expected to find a bias and were surprised at the result.)
