Watch the spin they put on this! No, it's not that Americans are being made unaware of just how low the native white crime rate actually is. Heavens no! Obviously, the police are picking on Hispanics!

The San Francisco Police Department (http://thepoliticalforums.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=) has underreported the arrest rates of the city's two largest minority groups for years, classifying Latino arrestees as "white" and Asian American suspects as "other," according to agency records and police officials.


Snip



"This is just extremely troubling," Francisco Ugarte (http://thepoliticalforums.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=), senior immigration attorney at the San Francisco Immigrant Legal and Education (http://www.sfgate.com/education-guide/) Network, said of the classification of Latinos as "white" and Asians as "other." "If San Francisco is effectively unable to categorize those in the city being arrested, that would undermine our ability to monitor police practices - particularly in San Francisco, with such a huge Latino population."

The point for me is that govt. can't be trusted. Perceived reality in America is based on falsehoods.

I was a police officer and I hated the liberal insistence on classifying people. Please, define Latino for me and tell me how an arresting officer knows? We had a well-known Latino family in our town named Hoernicke. I asked someone in the family where they got the name and they laughed and said, "A great-grand father." I also knew Mexican nationals who had red hair and blue eyes. Go figure.

It's just the liberals who insist that everyone has to be put in a group of the liberals choosing. When I was young, it was racists like Gov. Wallace who insisted that if you had one drop of black blood you were black. Now it's racists like President Obama who insist that if you have one drop of black blood, you're black.

Opinion is informed by experience. The overwhelming majority of Latinos in California come from the Mestizo population of the southern states of Mexico. There is a reason La Raza is called La Raza.
