  The way I read that article the whitewashing means that it is not possible for researchers to assess wether the LEOs are engaging in racial profiling. Did you interpret the article to mean that some minorioties are genetically predisposed to crime?

      Just to make sure we are on the same page: You don't think that increased levels of melanin means that an individual is more likely to be a criminal? With that out of the way.

        Didn't you mean to imply that blacks in countries bordering the US had substantially lower crime rates than blacks in the US? If you didn't, then I have no idea what you were getting at.
