Hmm, it seems the last two posters fall into the classic trap of the bleeding heart liberal. I have my ideas DESPITE the left-wing propaganda fed to me by my professors in college. I was actually buying into that drivel until a momentous event happened in my life - I GOT A JOB and realized just how tough it is to make it out there, REGARDLESS of race.

Crime is no doubt linked to income levels and the like, but how do you account for the fact that other minorities with lower incomes who do not have the propensity to commit crimes or have children like there's no tomorrow? Not all Asians, Persians or Arabs are well off in the US but their crime levels go nowhere near those of the Mexicans and blacks.

And yes, I don't know how Mexicans are in Mexico (and don't much care) but it's well documented how they act in California and the US. You give excuses for bad behavior as if that makes it ok to act that way. "They face discrimination blah blah blah so understand them when they rape, kill and rob." It's not surprising that the state of California is pretty bad in terms of crime and economy considering Desultude's stance is pretty widespread in the once Golden State.

Kiwi says "crime has been far more linked to poverty statistically than it has ever been linked to race. So, in an all white area you will still get a similar level of crime from the low income sector." If that is so, why did the 1997 FBI Uniform Crime Report say 63 percent of the 65,624 drug arrests were minorities (50 percent blacks and 13 percent Hispanics)? There are more white people in the US than blacks and Hispanics (though that is rapidly changing) and yet the stats show more blacks and Hispanics commit crimes.

Another point I'd like to make is the lower standards that some minorities are held to. Economist Walter Williams wrote, "When it's noticed that black illegitimacy is 70 percent, and less than 40 percent of black children live in two-parent families, and social pathology reigns supreme, it's not because of personal irresponsibility. Instead, it's racism and the legacy of slavery. Nobody bothers to notice that a century ago, when blacks were much closer to slavery, had fewer civil rights and far fewer opportunities, black illegitimacy and family breakdown was a tiny fraction of today's."

Let's get something clear: despite the quick conclusion that Kiwi comes to, I'm not writing this because I hate blacks (I grew up around Washington, DC) or Mexicans, just like many who bitch and complain on this board probably have nothing inherently against Koreans. In fact, the REAL racists are the ones who keep pushing the culture of victimization and are the real enemies.

So Kiwi, where are your sources? You simply say what you say without sources. And well, why do think that the Arabs, Asians and Persians have a lower poverty rate? Maybe it's because they don't make the same mistakes that other minorities do (getting an education, work their tails off at making a living, not having kids young and while unable to afford them, and staying out of trouble).

You blame poverty for all of these troubles. So why are a lot of US blacks in poverty? Based on the answer you gave, it's clear you have little to no grasp of the issue. Much of the problem lies in the fact that so many blacks are raised with no father. Larry Elder (who is black), in his book The Ten Things You Can't Say in America, says America's greatest problem is illegitimacy. Many black youths are raised by single mothers and single parenthood is a major indicator of how a child may turn out in adulthood. As a result, 32 percent of young black youths have criminal records, as opposed to 7 percent of their white counterparts, according to recent Dept. of Justice statistics. Nobody forces people to have kids that they cannot afford or are unable to raise.

Say what you will about me but I'm not lower myself to name calling like you have.

I just like being able to buy certain things that are usually more available in Seoul than outside Seoul. Not much else matters to me beyond that.

I wish I lived in the boonie-mountains of Jeolla-do.

All of the ultra-hot babes I've met were from that area!
