Statistically, hoody or not, it would have been a good bet, that the Vermin were black males ( or, slightly less likely, brown males .. or some other m-c-vermin )

"The study's social index rated counties on five measures: prevalence of same-sex couples; registered Democratic voters; liberal views; schools with gay-straight alliances; schools with policies against bullying gay students; and schools with antidiscrimination policies that included sexual orientation."

Uh Huh ... Nothing 'skewed' about this study - It achieved exactly the results it was designed to achieve .. Peh!

What is as sad/wrong as the $13, is the idea of a Legal Citizen working 2 weeks and 'expecting' only $186 ..
Damn!! Things are tougher out there than I had thought :-(

"Why is it that America is the only country in the world that demands that people declare their ethnic heritage?"

That doesn't sound right - as there are many MANY examples of ethnic cleansing, around the world, effected by that very identification and/or separation by ethnicity.

... and as to your 'native' thing .. most all indian tribes identify themselves as separate and independent nations/peoples, which sounds to me like they (You?) are defining yourselves by virtue of a unique ethnic heritage.
So - I guess I am wondering just what your point is?
