So now we can tell who is illegal based on their name?

If Edith is illegal she should not have been here. If she was not here, the prince and his wife would still be alive.

It is a shame.....they were really working hard reforming the Tongan government.

Peace be with the family and all Tongans......

Delgado, of Redwood City, was to be arraigned in San Mateo County Superior Court on charges of vehicular manslaughter and engaging in a speed contest,

There are some very nice tracks in the Bay Area - Laguna Seca, Infineon, Thunderhill to the east. This kid could have joined one of the many car clubs in the area, gone to a track weekend, learned a few things about driving, and satisfied her need for speed. But nooooo...

Misterrob didn't say it didn't matter. In fact, he thought it was the most important fact of the story to comment on.

So, I'd guess it did matter to him.

You sure about that ?

I'll gladly trade 10 white liberals for one black or Hispanic conservative.

Or for anyone else who thinks that being white makes you superior for that matter.

Yo, Sits and Cannot Reason, re-read my post and apply some thought if you can muster it. I don't see what the driver's race has anything to do with the story.

A friend of a friend died when two teens were street racing... they came over a hill, one tried to pass the other, and ran her and her dog over going over 100mph. She had a two year old son. I say through the book at street racers.

"I used to lifeguard a neighborhood pool in poor east side region of San Jose. There was a small community of well behaved & friendly Samoans/Tongans there that I very quickly noticed none of the other less well-behaved locals messed with."

They are wonderful people (Tongans and Samoans) and you are right -- they are powerfully built and loyal to a fault. An ignorant, cocky ghetto fellow from LA insulted a Tongan's sister at a dance in a neighboring state some years ago and arrogantly agreed to "take it outside" with the Tongan -- it was his last insult. Because the low-keyed Tongans and Samoans are not loud-mouthed, cocky bullies does not mean they back down from a fight they'll most assuredly win.

I'm sorry, I thought you were the first person to mention the perp's heritage in the thread.

Looks like the title was corrected after the fact. The term, Road Raging Hispanic was added in parentheses

Apologize for the flame...

On second reading of the thread, I can't see where the perp's heritage or race is mentioned at all until you brought it up.

It doesn't matter to me. I was more interested in her first name -- I didn't know girls were being named Edith anymore. Did a bit more research, and apparently they are.

But it mattered enough to you that you had to bring it up, so the focus on the thread, yet again, is the perp's heritage.

In the future, if you don't think it matters, please don't bring it up. The bigots will get to the issue soon enough if they show up. Hopefully they won't.

There is even a drifting race this weekend at Sears Point (uh, I mean Infineon).

Needed side airbags or helmets. The roof was not badly crushed in the second row seats.

They could have been wearing seatbelts, it's a terrible secret that many brands of SUV's don't have roofs that are strong enough in a roll-over and they crush back in on the occupants. Phoenix news did an indepth report on this recently because of the number of deaths from crushed roofs, it's very technical, has to do with weight ratio's.

"So now we can tell who is illegal based on their name"

Just as profiling increases the odds, anti-profiling is strongly correlated with lower odds.
