That doesn't mean as a police officer I should arrest/pulled over/harrass every latino in Arizona over their paper work, but if they can barely speak english, are a construction worker, I think as a human being who has cognitive thought I should engage that person and see if he really is legally allowed here. Whole different argument but you see my point, i hope.
Yes, I see your point, but I did not contradict myself with my post. You said that "All stereotypes have truth to them." I am arguing that that statement is false. I said that some stereotypes have some truth to them because of people's prior experiences, but I still disagree with your statement.

Feel free, but your perspective is incrediblyyyy skewed.
Edit: And I didn't say all Latino's are gun smugglers, drug smugglers or whatever. Just the Latino's that have been pushing it, have done more damage than Muslim Zealots.

Before It's News Wrote:Thus, what the FBI report is really saying is that a demographic which makes up only 1% of the American population accounts for one-fourth of all deadly terror attacks in the U.S. and 94% of related casualties! (The 94% statistic is somewhat ironic because it is the same figure than Loonwatch is touting to dispel concerns). The Jewish population in the U.S. is more than twice that of Muslims, but there were only three so-called Jewish attacks during the entire 25 years (all by the Jewish Defense League) with a total of three killed.
Since 2005, there have been at least six additional deadly attacks that would probably qualify as terrorism in the U.S. even to the FBI. One was the 2012 shooting by a skinhead that resulted in six deaths at a Sikh temple and the other five were by Muslims, which left 19 dead. This means that since 1980, Muslims in the U.S. have been 35 times more likely to commit terror than all other demographics combined.
From what I am reading, it would seem that the article you posted supports my argument rather than yours. Yes, it would seem that Latino-extremists are responsible for the majority of terrorism, but clearly Islamic extremists are responsible for the major domestic terrorist events within the United States and the overwhelming majority of civilian casualties, making them a much larger threat to U.S. domestic security.
KhainiWest Wrote:...Latino's are a bigger terrorist threat to us than the Muslim zealots, they have done far more damage, including gun/drug smuggling, that's a fact by the way.
Therefore, I would like to point out that I still find this point in your post incorrect. Ok, I'll agree that the data shows that Latino terrorists are causing most of the events, but if you look at the damage done by these events, I would rank civilian casualties as very high on the 'damage done' scale and Islamic terrorists blow Latino terrorists out of the water in this regard.
I may have a generational bias because I have only been alive for the past 20 years~, but I would not go as far to say that my perspective is "incredibly skewed" while yours is completely unbiased.
