Just a quick question in the middle of this whole racially charged conversation, is it racist to make observations based upon a large sample of a demographic? What's the diference in saying teenager's have higher insurance costs because they are more likely to get in an accident and saying that young black kids walk a certain way? One refers to race while the other refers to age, aren't both considered protected now?

I don't see anyone beating down the door to the insurance companies claiming age discrimination. The fact is that a lot of teenagers do get into accidents, just like a lot of young black males do strut when they walk. Doesn't make it racist, it's just an observation.

The fact that it has turned into 2 pages of claiming racism is the fault of how meek our society has become to fold to pressures of racial, disabled, age, sex, etc... instead of just making an observation and using it to make a decision like you would with any other decision.
