With that out of the way. The conversation went like this:
dsuth: "I thought that [the link between skin colour and crime in the US] was a fairly massive social issue over there, well-deserving of a wikipedia page."
me: "If there was a connection between skin color and crime in the US why would this genetic predisposition stop at the border?"
you: "Does it? http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/02/01/police-routinely-suppress-racial-data-in-canada-study-says/ http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/02/01/police-routinely-sup... "
I am not sure where we got our signals crossed.
* What were you questioning when you asked "does it?"
* What did you expect I was going to get out of the article you linked to?
* You do not think that a person's race is a matter of genetics?
- Kudzu_Bob 13y agoDidn'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.
