I'd be curious as to the results of that if you ignored recent immigrants or looked at specifics Asian groups (say, Vietnamese vs. Chinese or Korean; I'm pretty sure there's a huge disparity there). A very large number of Asian-Americans immigrated in the past couple generations and represent the upper or upper-middle class from their home countries (otherwise they wouldn't have been able to afford coming here in the first place).

Well Asian is a pretty ill-defined category. Do we include Indians, etc. You are right that there is a huge disparity though, while Asians as a category have higher income there's a much larger standard deviation than for white people. It's an interesting topic though, considering ww2 and earlier anti-Asian racism.

I dunno what the point would be. A huge part of the reason I joined SA was because it is one of the better places to be a black person on the internet because, outside of a few subforums, you have to actively go looking for the racist post(ers) (i.e. going to any D&D thread on race, I/P, anything pertaining to the middle east). Which is loving saying something, because SA is still far from a progressive bastion for non-white, non-male people and opinions. It's just slightly less caustic and openly hostile when compared to reddit or something.



Well, there's not too many spaces where you can go if you're a black person on the net, and it can get lonely at times. And the few black spaces that do exist are filled with conservative talk and religiosity. It gets tiring and lonely if you're working in a white environment and don't have many people who would understand your everyday struggle aside from family. So it was just a thought.

At least there's black Twitter.

I'm sorry you bi-racial guys have recieved a lot of flack and undue criticism. You have no reason to prove your blackness to anybody, much less white people, on the Internet when you're trying to get away from the daily grind of endless bullshit.

If there is no report and a cop has not been present when it happened, it gets muddier thereafter with the "requirement of presence" and what not for arresting for misdemeanors.
So it is not quite simple. If the person who got run over makes a criminal report, then you move from there.

'If the cop does not see a person punching a person, and the punchee does not make a complaint or report it to the police, the cops can't arrest the puncher afterwards with no other reason.
In hit and runs, I'd imagine the "hit-n-runee" makes a police report.

I'm gonna need a common law lawyer to help me out in explaining it deeper, but a person can be punched in front of the police station, too, and if he walks away and the punchee says nothing, no one has any reason to chase that dude, especially if they did not immediately see it or have it reported through dispatch.

quote:

'In the Presence' Requirement:
"In the Presence" requirement: Misdemeanors (and infractions) must have occurred in the officer's (or private person's, in the case of a private person's arrest) presence. (P.C. §§ 836(a)(1), 837.1; Jackson v. Superior Court (1950) 98 Cal.App.2nd 183; see also V.C. § 40300.)


'In the Presence,' Defined
"In the Presence," Defined: "In the presence" is commonly interpreted to refer to having personal knowledge that the offense in question has been committed, made known to the officer through any of the officer's five senses. (See People v. Burgess (1947) 79 Cal.App.2

It is important that "a cop" doesn't have to hear it, just "the police" as an entity. A dispatcher dispatching a police unit which then calls another police unit to handle it are all the same entity. IN other words, all member of the law enforcement agency share the senses and apparently can also practice telepathy.

Weird according to many in this thread if a teenager punches a person the police have permission to shoot them til they die.

Seriously though I guess it's just my state but I thought police could and had to care much more about vehicular attacks like this by default.
