I hear someone invented a special light which is uncomfortably hot when it interacts with darker skin, but doesn't (usually) affect those who are fair-skinned.[1] Statistics show that locations that deploy these lights have fewer minor crimes.[2] Do you think we should deploy these lights along with the squealers? If not, then why not -- what is different? [1] Not actually true (thank goodness). Fictional example was created for illustrative purposes only. [2] Not actually true (because the lights aren't real). But if they were real, this would almost certainly be true. Among other things, if you drive off a percentage of the population, then it decreases the number of people, and thus the number of crimes.
