#1 Meanwhile, 21 percent of American Indians and 9.8 percent of Asian-Pacific Islanders are uninsured.

So you're claiming native Americans are not covered by the Indian Health Services? Or are you claiming, while they have access to federal programs, they lack private insurance?

#2 Consider the source:
Google the author's name to get her myspace home page and then read her blog titled "god really is a hilarious bitch" or check out her "influences" including "the incredible revolutionary poets of Central America".
One of Minnesota's finest, and a Harvard graduate.

#3 "It's another cultural thing, though the numbers are actually a bit higher than the national average. Blacks make up 12 percent of the population and account for around 53 percent of violent crime nationally."

Icerigger, WTF? How many times do I have to tell you: DON'T CONFUSE ME WITH FACTS!

#4 Notice the cherry picking?

That is, for some items, one set of ethnic groups is used, for other items, a *different* set.

So tell me, what percentage of Asian-Pacific Islanders graduate from high school? Is it close to the white rate, which is not unusual for those of Asian-Pacific Islanders descent?

And I bet that Asian-Pacific Islanders are almost negligible in arrest rates. But she doesn't even mention Latinos, either. So is it just exclusively blacks who get arrested all the time, and if so, why is that?
