I never said Barry was involved in racism, but I find it interesting that this youtube report has triggered such defensiveness. My only intent was to publish information that, frankly, I had never suspected to be possible. I was shocked by the lack of any shame for being racist. At least in America the racists hide themselves behind labels like birther, or pro-Arizona immigration schemer. No one in any American stadium could possibly get away without a severe censoring if they showed such brazen hate-speech. Not that hypocrisy is a better packaging of racism, but at least American racism in public has a healthy regard for the opinions of the majority. If someone threw a banana at an African-American sport figure and yelled out monkey, he might not get out of the stands alive. Just sayin'!

Me, with my pea-sized- by-comparison brain, it took me less than thirty seconds to Google up the following. Probably should have taken at least a few seconds longer... Hate Crimes by Country: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes ...because there are no figures for hate crimes at this site. What Barry's linked to is total crimes, the totals for each country. And since we all know how oppressive-to-women Edg found Spain, Rapes By Country: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_rap_percap-crime-rapes-per-capita And here, oddly, he's linked to rapes *per capita* rather than total rapes. Understandably, in his eagerness to get back at Edg, he wanted to link to lists showing the U.S. at the top, which is easy if you link to the totals rather than the per capita numbers--albeit, of course, misleading given the size of the U.S. population. But then why didn't he link to total rapes rather than per capita rapes? He missed a bet there, since the U.S. rates first in total rapes but only ninth in rapes per capita (below Canada, surprisingly). In total crimes per capita, the U.S. rates eighth, below the U.K.
