    Jackson, Mississippi, had the highest per capita murder rate in the country in 2021 with 99.5 per 100,000 residents (153 murders total in a city of about 165,000), and has already had a couple this year. One of its city councilmen says he knows one of the reasons why — those annoying Indian business owners who won't pay for private security.

    And the non-racist reason for thinking more Asians is a negative is what?

    . Fat Stupid and Racist is apparently the key to getting elected anywhere in America.

    isn’t that what police are for? So they want to defund the police but they really want to shift the cost of police to immigrant small business owners. And when private security starts abusing the rights of a certain demographic group, they will call the use of private security racist. Just like they did with private prisons. That too started as a cost control measure.

    Did you ever try to get in touch with the teacher? There are a couple of people I would like to apologize to from my youth.

    Twitter is blowing up about "if Lord of the Rings was written today..." and people are saying Gandalf would be gay.
    Somewhere, Ian McKellen is having a good chuckle.

    And just imagine, if not for the meddling media, they'd have gotten away with it. That DA should be facing obstruction charges as well.

    As far as anyone thinking that I’m racist, I’m a Spanish teacher of 13 years and in my salon when I opened it, I was the sole white person that worked in there out of 19,” she said. “So, me being called a racist is ridiculous. ..

    Sure, Jan.
