Well HollyBerri we're going to disagree so lets leave it at that.

Oh, no we aren't going to disagree, The PIT... I was actually just pointing out how ridiculous this dicing can get.
Because that is how it would be portrayed... for the purposes of racial politics, only "Black" people (which includes West Indians and Guyanese and Africans, though they often don't consider themselves the same group as "Black Americans") are "Black", Puero Ricans are "Hispanic" and I don't know what Pakistanis are supposed to be (if they aren't lumped in with the Arabic people), but I'll bet you anything that you'll never hear them described in the media as "Black"... and thus the media would not call any such incident between a Black person and a Pakistani person "Black on Black violence". They might call it a racist incident, but only if there was some profit in doing so, otherwise I think there'd be an effort to ignore it if possible.
Anyway, don't you know that "Black on Black violence" is called "gang-related"?... better brush up on your media buzzwords, buddy
.
But if your brain starts to explode while you do so, put a slice of cheese on it (it's very cooling).

You should try the perspective from Canada. *Cough*
