I don't suppose that this article is a congratulatory piece on commending whites for being good drivers?

Correlation is not necessary causation.

There are more men than women in prison. Is that because the system is sexist?

How would anyone know the race of a person pulled over? Do drivers liscences have race indicated? I don’t think my state does. It has hair and eye color.

Gee, could it be that the colored people are more reckless and already have records tied to the regis. Plates?

Notice, again, orientals are left out altogether.

It’s not about racism. It’s about getting something for nothing, aka communism.

My first thought is, correlation is not causality.

There is an old joke that I have to admit I never “got”. I didn’t understand what it was trying to communicate and which ethnic group it was trying to slam. It goes like this:

Q: What do you get when you cross a black with a latino (though it didn’t use those words)?
A: A car thief that can’t drive.

Could someone explain which side is supposed to be the thief and which is supposed to be the bad driver, and why? What is the real life meme I’m missing here?

Why would a police officer prefer to stop blacks, their exposure to being a victim of violence goes up significantly? Most officers would prefer to go home safely to their families. Stopping only whites would greatly increase those chances.

“Impartial study shows that Stanford professors express pro-abortion views more often than anti-abortion views.” That must stop.

No, they don't. And, the article confirms that.

There is a difference between the "number of whites/blacks stopped" and the "rate at which whites/blacks are stopped".
