re: #17 Ming

There are many parts of the United States that are quite multi-racial: plenty of Asians, African Americans, Caucasians, Indians and Middle Easterners. Southern California and Hawaii are two such areas that I know well. I’m sure that a large percentage of Americans, maybe even a majority, live in such areas, where no single race is the majority.

In these multi-racial areas, anyone, from ANY race, could be another Trayvon Martin.

Not really, no. The police response would have been different. This country has a long established history of dehumanizing blacks, that community diversity hasn’t erased and can’t erase until institutions like the local police decide on their own that every homicide has equal value.
