Except that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that concentrating resources
on statistically more probable people is going to give a better success rate
than spreading the resources evenly on everybody. If the distinguishing
feature happens to be ethnicity, that doesn't change anything. You can call
it "racism" if you want. I am not prejudiced against any group of people
based on their ethnicity, nor am I claiming that some ethnicities are more
likely to be criminals than others, so I don't really appreciate the
insinuation.

Now you are outright insulting me. Nowhere have I said that.
