    what is this one of those moral judgement questions? thats a weird topic for an essay.

    best thing you can do (imho) is sit on the fence: yes only hispanic drivers should be stopped for the duration because of the footage etc etc but no because it could be deemed racist yada yada

    Did your teacher give you that topic? Thats one idiotic topic.
    So, basically, an asian can speed and smoke some herbs while driving and not get arrested? D:

    Just turn in a sheet of paper with a big fat paragraph of, "No."

    i dont think the question means that only hispanic drivers should be stopped now and forever and ever into the future until the seas boil and the sky falls down. geez you guys.

    its more like, should you do the politically correct thing and stop other drivers even if they are white or black and blatantly wasnt them who committed the crime just so you can appear to be not picking on hispanics or do you throw that aside, get on with the task at hand and just stop hispanic drivers since that will be the fastest way of catching the culprit.

    Couldnt the fools ID the car of the cuprits. If they couldnt they should stop hispanics IF they fit the desscription. and plus what do hispanics want with a baby anyway i dont see the point.

    because thats the point of the essay. It had to be two hispanic or african or jewish or some other ethnic classification other than "2 dudes" so that it would be a controversial argument.

    Politically correct or not, the logical thing to do would be to stop people who fit the description. If the police hear that a 20 year old Caucasian male robbed a liquor store, would they go after a 20 year old Black male?

    ...

    Probably yes, but that's besides the point.

    Exactly, so if my parents are driving, automatically they're arrested? Isn't there a constitutional right for that!?

    This is stretching the ideas of racism a bit too far.

    If the criminal was noticably hispanic, then pull over hispanics (and other races) that meet the description.

    It's like if a woman steals a bra, should we question guys so we don't seem sexist?

    Ridiculous.

    Your teacher is a bit out there...

    We should find out the size of that bra and check all woman that match the size~

    but I guess I'll bend to searching boobs of other sizes so I'm not boobist.
