Your response is a non-sequitur.
The number of serial killers as a percentage of all murderers is incredibly small. Therefore, your argument falls apart at the beginning.
The number of black youths involved in larcenies is amazingly high, and thus as a statistical matter, a very high likelihood that the person in question was committing a larceny during the purchase by using a stolen debit card, is also a high likelihood.
The point is that instead of suing Barnies and or the NYPD, he ought to be looking at other black youths and condemning them for making his life difficult to the point where the police thought detaining him was a high probability of arrest instead of seeing him as just another satisfied customer.
Or has the possibility not occurred to you ?
I am sure that if you compared the number of black youth in New York City to the number of crimes committed by black youth, statistics would show that the majority of them are not involved in crime, in the same way that the majority of all populations are not involved in crime. It’s perception that the majority are involved, not the statistical fact. Further, if you add in the fact that this young man is employed and enrolled in college, the likelihood that he is involved in crime would drop even lower.
Asian gangs are a problem in many cities, but that doesn’t mean all Asians are the problem. Judge people as individuals and by their individual actions. Just because you’re suspicious of someone because of your preconceived beliefs based upon their appearance doesn’t mean that they are going to act along the lines of your fears. I am a large burly tattooed man with long hair and a ZZ Top worthy beard and I dress in work clothes. That doesn’t mean I ride a motorcycle or belong to the Hell’s Angels or behave in any other stereotypical manner.
