Honestly, I'm surprised Asians aren't at the top of the list.

Ironic that this also correlates to IQ differences in the said groups...

Perhaps not waking in the middle of the road like the fellow in the link would help even things up.

People who live in urban areas and tend to disregard traffic and pedestrian rules versus those who tend to live in suburbs or rural areas and tend to more often follow laws.

With all the issues on the table it says a lot about the state of our government that the Secretary of Transportation chooses to spend his time worrying about this BS.

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.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

I guess we need 5 mph national speed limit and we'll have no more vehicle or pedestrian deaths.

So is he including the BLM and antifa terrorists that keep jumping in front of cars?

And I guess he saying that people of color are not smart enough to stay out of the street. So just like voter ID cards they just can't handle it.

Pete Buttigieg one of the biggest idiots in this administration and that is saying a hell of a lot. The guy is absolutely clueless, in over his head.

It's racism, racism, racism. Pretty soon we're gonna find out that us white people breathe too much air.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.

I believe that's the "not giving a damn about the laws" stereotype.

And now, a racially insensitive explanation of why these numbers make sense (it's not racist because I deride everyone equally)

Asians : more likely to be the ones hitting the pedestrians

White/non-Hispanic: feel entitled to just walk wherever the **** they want

Hispanics: move slower = increased opportunity to get hit crossing the street

Blacks: cop dramas have taught us that people frequently get hit by busses when running from the cops

Native Americans/Alaska native: Who hasn't hit a piss drunk Indian (feather) stumbling down the middle of the street?

We should equalize the number of points you get for each in order to combat this problem!

You've got to be a special kind of stupid to believe our focus needs to be on the race of pedestrians hit by cars.

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?

So is he saying we need to run over more Asians to even things out?

So per the link, for a national average of 1.6 deaths per 100,000 people per year (.0016%), he wants to slow down all of the features that keep traffic moving quickly (e.g. right turn slip lanes).

Naturally these "problems" are shown to be worse in southern states.

If he wants to jump in front of a car to "share the burden" and make the statistics more even, I won't stop him.

Of course streets are racist. You call them BLACKTOPS, for crying out loud.

They may be blacktops...but there are always white lines on top of them......tO kEeP tHeM dOwN!!!!!!

Asians are low on the list because they are the ones behind the wheel.

Edit: I should read more before posting. Too many beat me to it.

If you actually follow the link to the DOT page talking about "Dangerous by Design" you will see this picture on the front page.

I ask you, what part of the design here was the problem?



My God these people are simpletons.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

One of the comments

Maybe the people attacking Asians on the sidewalks are just fighting for racial equity?

This picture reminds me of all the people I have seen trying to cross 35 at 51 street in Austin.


I have seen one person hit but to be honest I don't remember their skin color. They were male and either white, hispanic, native american or black. Well they were male but I don't know what they identified as.

But they were definitely high and drunk.
