Too many people on this forum are scared to debate anything that goes near the race issue. It's like nobody wants to have the race card played against them. But debating race issues openly and honestly does not automatically make us all racists...!!

It may also be that Asian Pharmacists are no more corrupt than Caucasian ones. An interesting aside - is it possible only Asian Pharmacists were targeted in this "journalistic" investigation, would that be racist ? Even in an area where there are no caucasian ones?
Perhaps every news story should indicate whether the "alleged" perpetrator is "white" "asian" "african" "afro-caribbean" "multiple or mixed".
Hey we could go really PC and also include age groupings and religions. That way we would find out if Jedis commit crimes too.
I dont really care if they are Asian, Eskimo, afro-caribbean or caucasian, if they didnt discriminate in who they sold the drugs to, does it really matter?
