72. Because this is the kind of a herd-mentality blanket accusation
Edited on Tue Mar-01-05 01:21 AM by Goldmund
that is at the root of all kinds of bigotry. Not only is there no proof that it is statistically true, but more importantly: doesn't fucking matter even if it is statistically true. Statistically, Arabs are more likely to be terrorists, at least currently; statistically, black males are more likely to be criminals. Do you support racial profiling?

Yes, I'll buy blanket statements such as "Bush supporters as a group have a lower IQ", or "Bush supporters as a group are less informed and more ignorant". Even "Bush supporters are more mysoginist, xenophobic, gullible", etc, etc. But a serial killer? Come on.
