I read half the article before becoming frustrated.
Do they ever ask the obvious question - are there racial disparities in driving? Is there some cosmic physical law that forces all races and cultures to drive the same way?
This is the type of race baiting that loses democrats votes.
- voakbasda 5y agoAs I see it, the problem is that there is no real way to record data on actual racially-correlated behavior, because doing so will be accused of being inherently racist. Even if you did, nobody in their right mind would publish results that show minorities in a bad light, even if the data backing it up was impeccable, reproducible, and unequivocal. Hell, I expect to be down-voted for suggesting the mere possibility that such could be the result of some studies. Race and science are a radioactive combination.

Just because a group is a minority doesn't make them immune from being critisized if there indeed behaviours that aren't acceptable from them. This is basically racism - just the other angle - where you're afraid of critisizing a race.
- quantified 5y agoIt’s the elephant in that room. The article seemed fuzzy as to whether it’s more important to talk about frequency of infraction vs economic harm when fines are a big fraction of income. But if you can’t afford the ticket, don’t run the fucking red light you idiot.
