Also, I guess he could start with blacks, but like I said if there is racism, he'll have to do a comparison with whites or another race to see if it makes a difference. Either way he'll always need to compare to make sure the results are the same all ways (it's simple stats) or else that's not a good experiment   See 2 other replies

I see you point and can understand that, but his way is technically "right" when it comes to experiementation. Look up all the experiments they do for research and the average person is white, middle class because that is the "norm" and we all deviate from it. Not saying it's right, but that's a way to measure things. If he started with black actors there COULD be RACISM in play THUS skewing the results of the experiments, so he has to use them as a comparison to either prove it makes a difference or not. If there was racism in play, he wouldn't be able to tell UNLESS he does a comparison/ Also, the areas they are in seem to be a majority white area (can vary time to time), so using white is just I guess the 'standard" to start from and go from there. That's not really John as it is the racism of Americans and making the experiments work to fit their bias.   See 2 other replies

yep since it PROVES people wrong hahaI was going to bring up the same stat, but without the numbers, so good job. I must admit, I didn't think anti-sem still existed, but then I grew up   See 5 other replies

Bringing real statistics into this? Now you're just being silly.   See 5 other replies

Actually if you check federal crime stats...more hate crimes are committed against Jews than any other religious group. 2009 statistics (latest available) show 931 hate crimes against Jews. More than 3 times that of the next closest group. Or to put it another way, Jews alone are victims roughly twice as often as ALL other groups combined. That's just US stats...you know...the land that's supposedly friendly to Jewish folks and allies with Israel. Just imagine the numbers in less hospitable places. Overplayed? Hardly. I can't remember the last time I saw an anti-Jewish crime on the news, but I can't go a whole day without hearing about anti-Muslim crimes or protests. If anything, I'd say anti-semitism is being under-played in favor of highlighting religions with 1/3 the problem.   See 5 other replies
