It appears that chart only addresses trans.

Do the stats hold up for regular folks too?

I'm usually up on my stereotypes, but I'm struggling as to why Indians are at the top of this list? Drunk driving on the reservation??

How many times have you witnessed a pedestrian defiantly walked out in traffic and slowed cars down, daring you to hit them? Besides them being a dumb ass, what was the other characteristic that they shared?

For me, they were all black but one time it was a white guy so it's only roughly 99% of the time.

When we lived in Alaska (Elmendorf AFB/Anchorage) natives were constantly getting hit because they were high/drunk and just "in the road". That was the early 80s, but I'm sure it's still an issue.

I'm comforted by the fact that I've maybe 25 years left. If a car doesn't first kill me... administrative idiocy will.

This is the kind of idiocy you get when you choose cabinet members based on skin color, or where they like to stick their junk. This moron is in no way qualified for his job, and so he comes up with this kind of garbage because for the leftist morons everything is about race. There are already laws against running over pedestrians and there are laws against jaywalking. Getting hit by a car because you are too stupid to not walk in traffic is not about racism.

Only in American can this be broken down by race.

Drunk walking is more likely the issue

The number of people struck and killed by drivers nationwide while walking increased by an astonishing 45 percent over the last decade (2010-2019).

The four most recent years on record (2016-2019) are the most deadly years for pedestrian deaths since 1990. During this ten-year period, 53,435 people were hit and killed by drivers.
In 2019, the 6,237 people killed is the equivalent of more than 17 people dying per day.

What percentage of the increase do you think is due people with their heads stuck in their smartphones?

Let's graph it by people who walk to work and I'm sure we will come up with the same results.

I am rebranding myself as pink and not white. I can take it one step further if at some point that gets overused and declare myself blotchy.

If it's not about race then it's not a problem, that's why.

As a traffic engineer, I'm guessing one reason might be poor road conditions or lack of sidewalks in certain areas or better need for transit. Another obvious one is people on their stupid phones. He could have said that instead of making streets equal or whatever that buzz word term is now.

Major cities have people whose sole job is to make sure the tax dollars spent go to areas equally now... which includes roadway projects.

Having lived in Alaska I can tell you why Native Alaskans are getting hit in the street in downtown Anchorage at night...and it has nothing to do with how wide or safe a street is...

Isn't everyone who gets hit by a car the same race?

Kind of a purplish blue?

Black guys, especially young ones, will walk into the middle of the street without looking. They will dare you to hit them, and stare you down when you have to rapidly stop.

But yeah. Streets need equity.
Absolutely this. Can't even count the number of times this has happened to me. They do not obey traffic laws. They just walk out randomly into a street or even just walk down the middle of the lane. I've had the latter happen to me as well.

And how the hell does someone not immediately laugh at this idiocy due to common sense. What a ridiculous damn tweet.

Can't wait to move away.
