Re: Hispanic vermin fleeing crash goes wrong way, kills three
I didn't say anything that illegal hispanics are more accident prone. Did I? So lets not lump illogical things together and put words in another person's mouth. What I said was that there is definitely an issue of illegal immigrants. Any rational political commentator will agree with that. I also said that illegal immigrant drivers are a road hazard because they may not be familiar with the rules, laws and are more tempted to flee an accident. No where did I did not say they are more or less of a hazard than any other race.
So you say illegal immigrants are a road hazard but they are not more accident prone? Im not sure if you say you did not mean illegal hispanics, clearly the context is immigration from mexico as you make clear here:
*And he referred to "illegal and criminal Mexican invasion of US" which is a real-life wide-spread issue. *
Studies attribute higher prevalence of accidents amongst hispanics to cultural and language issues, not legal status. So the whole illegal immigration bit needs to either be corroborated with some evidence, or you are effectively just railing against an ethnic community.

Some other groups of people can be even more of a threat... e.g. studies show teen drivers have a higher tendency to get into an accident. If an accident like that happens, we can certainly talk about teen-age driving issues too.

How is that relevant though? Say you accuse me of being islamophobic and I say in response "Hey Hindus can be even more of a threat..".

For now, lets get past the political correctness and nit-picking and talk about this particular accident. By the way, by now, I am really not sure what the heck Jaan Leva wanted to discuss any way. It was probably just a race flamer, and predictably it worked. :)

Sure, but that was never the intent of this thread was it. Im all for political incorrectness if it isnt just a license for a particular strain of bigotry.
Its amusing for me when Muslims start taking their talking points from Rush like this thread clearly is.
Jaan Leva: No they arent! Please point me to a credible statistical link inside that compilation of mexicans are evil site. half baked political propaganda is not statistical proof. I could compile similar lists of white people or gays who eat children. Once again, there IS evidence that hispanics are more accident prone (i can point you to a credible scientific study) but there is no evidence that illegal immigrants within that community are more accident prone.
That site you link to hardly cares about the differentiation, and neither do you.
