One more thing. > Good for you. I took notes while doing my observation - are you going to come over to read them? Yeah, it is good for me. I understand the basic principle of science, as well as how to use a dictionary. I wouldn't go around waving a notebook full of my scribblings and conclude from this that the vast majority of claims about racism are overblown. I'm neither ignorant nor arrogant enough to assume that my own observations are sufficiently broad or relevant, that they support generalized statements about people I've never met.

> I understand the basic principle of science, Oh really? I claim to have observations. That's pretty much how scientific theories are tested. You claim that my obervations are flawed, but have yet to provide any supporting evidence for your claim. Yes, it's possible that the folks that I run into are non-representative. It's also possible that my sampling wasn't good. However, you don't get to claim such things without actual evidence.
