As a Hispanic - American (born in NYC), I take issue with your comment. What about all the underage Hispanic girls that have been raped/assaulted/carried sexual relationship in NYC schools by white males/females in recent memory? Come on bro, calm down and have a little respect.

I am not defending one group over another cause every group has its own share of bad apples. I just think we should be mindful of making statements to misrepresent entire races.


It is a economic thing more than a racial or ethnic thing. But if it's true, it's true. But people automatically become so defensive when somebody says it, that gets forgotten. It's not an indictment of all blacks or all Hispanics. But of a big chunk of black and Hispanic males. Like I said, it's not politically correct to say it, but everyone knows what I'm talking about.


We agree it is an economic thing and unfortunately those two groups in particular dont fare too well in that arena and thus we see the outcomes in the criminal world. I dont dispute/in fact I discuss this all the time in real life, but I just want to make sure its not an indictment of the entire race thats all. Cause I can easily say, 95% of all white collar crime committed in the US is done by whites or Jews but that wouldnt be fair/right to that entire race/group.

Facts are facts and I dont/never dispute them if they are.
