Popular Dallas food reporter Stacy Fawcett has died, PEOPLE confirms.
In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, the Plano Police Department confirmed that Fawcett, 45, and her son Josiah Utu, 17, both suffered fatal stab wounds early Friday when Fawcett's eldest son 19-year-old McCann Utu Jr. attacked the pair before stabbing himself.
After the incident, a male suspect contacted police, telling the 911 operator that he had committed murder. Officers were then dispatched to the home in Plano, Texas – a suburb 20 miles north of Dallas – where they "made entry into the residence and discovered a deceased adult male and adult female along with another adult male who was alive with multiple stab wounds."

Well, I have noticed that black women seem to predominate in the running events in the Olympics. I figure it's because they tend to have long legs or something.
On the other hand, research into the physiology of runners has shown specific advantages for some Africans in terms of cardiovascular functioning and bone/muscle structure. Runners from around the world now try to replicate the training environment of Kenya or Ethiopia: fairly high altitude, dry conditions, extreme distances.
However, there is also a cultural factor in this, in that track sports offer a path to success for young Africans in an environment where other opportunities are more limited than they are in the U.S. or Europe.
There certainly is a genetic component to behavior.
I’m interested in links if you’re willing.
Two books I’ve run across that touch on the subject:

One thing I found it interesting while living in Mexico was that every Indian I ran into in Mexico has a “grandmother from Spain”.
I don’t know if it means that they loathe their own culture, or just wish to fit in with the upper-class.
The term Mestizo isn’t used to insult, the word “Latino” is. I have no idea why the lower class Mezo-Americans use it here, but what am I to expect from Chicanos who have no idea of their heritage?
In any case, the gov’t of Mexico has for the longest time wanted to push this absurd idea that “Mexicanos son iguales”, of the same race/blood. Put a Oaxacan next to a Sonoran and you’ll see two different nationalities. It’s nothing but lies & propaganda. To the point that my blonde cousins think that their ancestors are “Mayan”.
It’s worse than embarrassing. And these are the same cousins who got really upset about the “inmigrantes del sur que son cortos y prietos entrando a nuestra ciudad”.
Do you see the idiocy of it?
As for Asians scoring higher, yes Northern Asians score easily higher (Koreans, Japanese, Chinese). Southern Asians (Laotians, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Filipinos, Thai, and others) don’t.
Simply that her doctor tried to put her on SSRIs and she refused to take them. Apparently this is one of the latest “treatments”.
Maybe so if you are with a hoodrat which even I would not, but I am an law abiding tax paying American regardless of my color, I will be with who I choose as per as it is my right, freedom of relationships and association.
That grandmother-from-Spain thing is like something sticky that can’t be gotten rid of-part of old caste snobbery, as you pointed out-as if everyone of Brit ancestry were claiming an antecedent who came over on the Mayflower...
Whenever my blond, blue-eyed 1st husband was doing an engineering job in Mexico, people always asked if his family came recently from Spain. He also had Basque ancestry and spoke Spanish, but he didn’t have some antecedents from Leon like I do, or as many Native ancestors-he said that “Spain” didn’t mean “light”, but most people didn’t get the joke.
The lack of knowledge concerning their REAL heritage and ancestry seems almost like a form of schizophrenia with most Mexicans-they want to be Native Americans today and have a grandmother from Spain tomorrow-but being the product of both after a few 100 years is unthinkable- something that only nacos would be-most of us in the US find the truth so much more interesting, but once you get south of the frontera, the ignorance takes over...
And have ever noticed how many of the actors in the Spanish language TV series are light and blue-eyed, and/or have German or other Anglo surnames? A few years ago I got curious enough about that to do a bit of research-I was amazed to find that a lot of the actors in the series produced by Telemundo-mostly in Miami-are actually US born Hispanics, from everywhere from Florida to Texas and DC-some aren’t just 1st generation Americans.
A lot of the ones from S America are more German than Spanish, light and blonde and have German surnames-so do some of the ones from Mexico, which probably means that more Nazis came over to disappear than anyone knows about. One of the popular actresses was born in Krakow and is Polish. Most of the guys playing the capos in narco mafia telenovelas look more like Vincente Fox than El Chapo-so much for Native pride...
But why did she think that would make her kill her family?
“There certainly is a genetic component to behavior.”
Disagree. As does the Bible.
We are punished for our sins. It is hardly a sin to be born of a certain race, as God clearly and definitively states he created all mankind in His image.
So if white men were genetically predisposed to petty theft, and Indian men were not, how would God be just to punish the white man when it is not any more wrong than having blue eyes?
This is the homosexual argument. It’s a lie from hell. “I was born that way.”
Having curly hair, long toes, or a poor digestive system is not a sin. You are born that way, indeed.
But if it’s sinful behavior, it’s NOT pre-programmed. It’s your decision, every time. You have moral agency and will be held accountable for yourself.
There certainly is a genetic component to behavior.
“which even I would not..”
So you have standards. Very low standards, but standards nonetheless.
