We keep hearing, both here in the saloon, and in liberal punditry, that the AZ law, SB1070, is some racist piece of legislation.
Question, HOW SO??
A law, that expressly makes clear that folks can NOT be pulled over or detained merely by the color of their skin or presumed ethnicity, is somehow racist because.............?
Selective enforcement is hogwash, because it won't pass the smell test. This law would be watched and scrutinzed with a microscope, that likely the polar opposite would occur...that of folks absoloutely llegitimately pulled over, but immediately claim racial profiling because they happen to be of a different color or ethnicty, with law enforcement not even bothering to have looked into their immigration status, in the 1st place.
And even greater hogwash, largely mirroring AMBE, is the notion that Arizonians are pushing their legislature for a "whiter AZ" Good god, again, based on WHAT?? What on earth, preceding this law makes any indication of some desire for a KKK-like vision of AZ?
As Ami already demonstrated, this law merely mirrors existing Federal law, so is the claim now that current Federal law is racist??
So, someone with some ounce of integrity or credibility, please demonstrate how a law that makes racism and racial profiling expressly illegal, is by in large racist
