I'm twice to three times your size

I had a tire iron in my car and I was excited about having the chance to finally use it on someone

I'd say it sucks that it's always black kids doing this shit

only counted 3 hubanisms in that post

you still managed to make it all about you instead of sig so maybe that counts as a fourth in spirit

I do find it odd that both people telling stories felt the need to mention that the people were black, as if it mattered in literally any way.

Would you mention they were black if they hadn't robbed you?  I mean, it's pretty fucked up if you feel that the color of someone's skin is a detail that clarifies the extent of their action at all.

But Capntastic, what if they're trying to indicate that as sad as it is, and how truly not-racist they are, black people just commit more crimes!

To that I say:  Correlation is not causation.  The fact that black people are typically underprivileged in most countries due to institutionalized racism stemming from centuries of human rights abuses, leads to the recognition that poor, unhappy, disenfranchised people are more likely to commit crimes.

Anyways, what I find odd is that you live in Australia but don't have an Australian accent?

I was born at Fort Benning Military Hospital and moved around with my dad for his airborne ranger exercises and honor guard duties in Washington DC. We moved to Australia when I was about eleven years old for some reason.

Ever heard of police profiling? It matters a lot; more than people are comfortable considering.

I wasn't aware TIG's offtopic forum was home to many officers of the law.

The only effective profiling I've ever been privy to is that older men working around children are about ten thousand times more likely to be pedophiles or own child porn. My dad's a fed, and basically the main perps that the FBI catches are always older male bus drivers or school officials or day care staff.

The mentality they use to justify the profiling is "Children suck, so the only reason you'd ever elect to be around them is because you're sexually attracted to them" Agents tend to have pretty twisted senses of humor, though... :p

Racial profiling is given a lot less credibility, though. Mainly because race doesn't suggest much about a person compared to pretty much any other aspect of their personhood because

oh gosh

Race isn't a choice.

E: I'm not trying to take the moral highground here, I just have to agree that the difference between a person and a black person is the word black

Racial expectations utilized properly.

Yeah, that's really funny until I'm racially profiled as a serial killer for being white, but then I actually end up killing everyone.
