That's interesting. I imagine it's probably a matter of which teachers you happen to get and their individual opinions. It's more the mass media that I'm thinking of here though. What about that?

I think you'll find that the laws aren't worded that way but there probably is a significant bias in the system towards people fitting those categories - there is here anyway (not so much white as people from countries where there is a predominately white population). Note the "I think" bit means I could be wrong.

Shoot first, ask questions later. Shoot before there's the suggestion of needing to shoot. Shoot just for the heck of it because it looks cool in that movie when stuff blows up. Huge military in the hands of someone who I note you aren't disagreeing with the stupid part of = dangerous in my opinion.
