And whenever people get fed up with it, they're accused of being "racists".I can think of a couple things worse than being a "racist". One of those things is being dead....

Racism is only bad when it is an *irrational* sentiment, such as that which is routinely exercised by the elite left against all except approved ethnic groups. When "being a racist" is only a result of pursuing perfectly rational policy against a crime problem rather than its impetus, it is irrelevant.
For example: Cracking down on crime in Costa Rica (where I was born and raised) would mean a disproportionate number of illegal Nicaraguan immigrants would be penalized, simply because a disproportionate number of them are criminals (and they compose 1/4 of the TOTAL population...you think Texas has a problem with illegals...). The result of such policies could be considered racist by someone who desires to raise such bs objections, but that is simply untrue.
Pim Fortuyn being shot was the death of the last hope for the Netherlands.
