You are probably right- I am wasting time with what this lady said. She is just one of many who are ignorant but I suppose it made it even worse by announcing it on TV. I believe you have a right to feel whatever you want, but it is the hate crimes that bother me. It takes it to the next level.

Without the I could not tell.

And your earlier analogy of people of a particular race commiting more crimes is flawed in its application. We DO have such misconceptions and profiling and skewed statistics and results. Targeting another group for mass fear hatred is nothing new, it's just business as usual.
