I would say that <i>Married, with Children</i> and <i>The Simpson</i> drew a different crowd somewhat. And I'm not sure you can blame Fox News for this... although there's no doubt they and folks like Limbaugh stoke biogtry! Still, it's the old correlation versus cause and effect.

That is disproportional by 175%. Also from the report: “Of the 7,330 offenders identified by police, 58.6 percent were white, 20.6 percent were black”

Whites make up 80% of the population, yet only 58.6% of the perps were white, while blacks make up 12% yet committed 20.6% of hate crimes.

That is disproportional by 175%.
