Operative word being, "usually." Presumably then, when you are wrong, you ignore it and continue to refer to the process as logical.

I don't ignore it. I consider it logical that I have noticed a preponderence of fatal auto accidents in my area, which has a large population of illegals, are caused by illegals. Certainly not all of them, but a number which seems far out of proportion with the rest of the population.

What would be illogical is assuming that the news media in my area is distorting the truth or misidentifying the status of drivers at fault in these incidents, leading me to a fallacious conclusion.

I, surprisingly enough to me, am not alone in that observation, as evidenced by the posts of others on threads such as these.

If you have not noticed such a phenomenon in your locale, consider yourself lucky.

You don't get it, do you? (And yes, I've noticed it too). The simple fact of the matter is that guessing at the immigration status based on someone's surname is not logic. It is presumption/b>. And there's nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't pass it off as logic. With regard to the others on this thread, I refer you to my comment #36.
