Going strictly by percentages it appears OK, but anyone can manipulate
statistical reports to push a point.

Did you notice that the whiteys had more alcohol-related fatality
crashes than all other races COMBINED? Also true on non-alcohol
fatalities. That's just raw numbers.

My counter-point: none of the races are worth a damn.

You know, looking at these statistics in another way, they seem to imply
that Native Americans and Mexicans are the SAFEST drivers when SOBER.
The majority of their fatal accidents occur ONLY WHEN THEY ARE DRUNK!

At the other end, Asians/Pacific Islanders and Cubans seem to be bad
drivers even when driving sober.

That is why the Gov of Iowa wont raise liquor taxes!

Many Asians don't drink alcohol ! That probably helps their figures.

You mean there's so many injuns and mexicans that he's afraid he'd offend
them if he raised booze taxes?? That's a damn poor reason and i'd like to
hear him tell that to the white parents who just had their kid killed by
some DUI injun.

BTW - I guess it's true that injuns really can't handle alcohol. It never
was part of their culture until the white man showed up 500 or so years ago
and so they haven't developed a tolerance for it like europeans who've been
boozing for thousands of years.

True...prior to white man influence their drug of choice was
locoweed. They fried their brains by what they smoked rather than by
the drinks. I doubt white man knew of marijuana prior to entering
this continent.

It's easy to find - on various official government public-health
agencies' Web sites - information that "Hispanics" drive drunk at
double the rate of either European-Americans or black Americans,
though they don't break out further WHICH Hispanic subcultures are
involved. That easily makes "Hispanics" the large group - by far -
having an unusually-high drunk-driving rate, as there just aren't that
many American Indians left.

It's apparently the same with aboriginals in Australia.
