@ guizonde: I think I like the way you think.
Warning: Biohazardously Awesome
There is the point that "white" only refers to pale Caucasians of northern European ancestry. Turks are most assuredly included in the old school description of the Caucasian Group of "races", just like the Persians/Iranians, the Greeks and Italians, Semites, and peoples from northern India (who were thought to have migrated there from the Steppes).
2. The initial accusation was that white people commit 90% of all genocides. Ottoman Turks are now...white? Bit of a stretch, why don't we include the rape of the nanking aswell if we're going for completionism eh?

Therefore do police kill more of them?In America, it meant.Yeah. If I remember right it is something like 10% of the population is black but they account for close to, but less than, 50% of the people killed by police. This doesn't stop some people with a very particular axe to grind from playing with numbers to point out that most of the victims are white.You mean like how about 10% of the US population is black but the account for somewhere around 40% of the violent crimes?Or is posting inconvenient crime figures a hatecrime punishable by cyber-violence these days?~90% of genocides are committed by people who look like you. Perhaps we should shoot you on a street corner without trial?Nothing much since my great-grandad's generation.There's been a fair few in african nations since independence though.Wanna try again?

The Facebook group isn't exactly sane, but the sign is still spot on.I don't fully agree with every part of it, but I'm to this day baffled by how so many Republicans sincerely think Trump believes everything he says despite a history of supporting both sides when it suits him.
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?
