How does that work though? Doesn't this method just return negative results by definition? There are a lot of results confirming that "apple sucks" or "toyota sucks". Genuinely interested, because the only reliable way I've found is to spen

Idan, I don't think you're really contradicting what I've written (especially with the Sephardic thing). I didn't deny that racial profiling took place at all, nor did I debate its merits or ethical status, I was asserting that it's not in
