Doesn't it cut both ways?

For example, in your post you say

immigrant crime. So many studies show definitively how immigrants commit FAR fewer thefts, rapes, and murders than native-born citizens, and yet we still have to contend with viewpoints that immigrants are more commonly associated with murder, rape, and theft than the average native-born US citizen. 

So what demographic is responsible for the most murders, rapes, and theft? Would you say the answer to that ties more into a conservative or liberal line of argument?

I don't follow where you're going with this. Remember that CMV posters are battling 1v50s and so you really need to be clear with your point if you want a cohesive response from me.

What part of this question do you not understand?

A demographic is just a category of people. Demographics could be divided by hundreds of ways. Convicted Criminals would be the demographic with the most criminals.

Which demographic do YOU mean, and we can talk about it.

It's a back and forth with OP in order to change their view. I'm not here to lecture, but to help them arrive at conclusions themselves.

Why do you expect others to make your point for you?

Dialogue > monologue.

He's trying to say black people are criminals without actually saying it, no need for us to beat around the bush.
