In a display of cojones even I couldn’t match, The Gazette today says the reason we have less crime in this country is because we have fewer black people, because even though most black people don’t commit crimes, most crimes are committed by black people. Cut out the black menace, and we have fewer crimes.

It’s an outrageous claim that will no doubt lead to someone’s immediate firing and numerous complaints with the Quebec human rights tribunal.

Oh, wait… it’s not black people. It’s young people. They’re the cause of all this crime.

Well then, that kind of discrimination and blatant offensive generalization is perfectly acceptable.

Say it with me now folks: Correlation is not causation.
