Have you checked with Immigration? They might have been deported and you just didn't notice.

Hispanic people in Texas have so many kids that they'd have to do a roll call and headcount to find out if only 4 went missing. They regularly let them ride loose in the bed of pickup trucks at highway speeds.

Amber alerts should be reserved for black children, they're harder to spot at night and need the extra eyes searching for them.

Treygreen13: Where is this "hispanics are now whites" meme coming from? I've been away from Fark for a few days and must have missed it.

/just curious
//did laugh when the guys graffiti'd "kill whitey" in response

From the Martin-Zimmerman case. The "bad" guy, Zimmerman has a white father and a Hispanic mother. Since he does not "appear" white, the press describes him as a "white Hispanic" because a white guy killing a black guy is news and a Hispanic guy killing a black guy is Saturday in Florida. Plus, it's difficult to get all outraged at a Hispanic guy.

Ftfa AMBER Alert; well over half of them have been issued for non-white children. It's probably closer to 60%

So its racist that amber alerts aren't issued at a lower rate for non-whites, yet when that's shown to be factually inaccurate, its racist because it suggests minorities lose their kids at a higher rate than whites.

It's almost like some people just want to believe that the US is racist, regardless of the facts. Hmm...

Zimmy: Di Atribe: Did any of you read to the end of the article? The Amber Alert lady said that most Amber Alerts were issued for non-caucasian children. I know that's harder than just assuming that everyone in Texas is a racist, but seriously, just read to the end. It's not a long article.

The fact that it tends to be issued for non-whites most of the time is racist. It means that only minority children go missing.

I'm from Texas, and Hispanic, so yeah, I speak for all of them out here when I say:

Well, of course it's mostly minorities for Texas AAs, it's usually a case of some shiathead ex-bf or husband that steals the kid from the mother's parents (since she is hardly around to raise the kid herself).


Yeah, I'm trolling, but fark it, I'm in a trolling mood.

But LULAC's Baldamero Garza wants to know whether police would have acted the same if the kids were white instead of Hispanic?

"Is it immediately important to the officer on the scene if it's this person, yes let's light the fire?" Garza asks. "But if it's this other group, oh that's just the usual, they'll be fine by this afternoon, and it's not a problem."

"Maybe it's something that we have to look at and see whether it really works for the Hispanic population in terms of what it should be doing," he says.

Texas? Yeah, I'm sure there's no bias, not at ALL. Texans are never racist, especially not basically the entire state government.
