Proportionally, it might be safe to extrapolate that the percentages  
should be about equal. That does not take into account the received  
wisdom of the more aggrieved group which on those grounds might be  
expected to contain a higher percentage. That would be an interesting  
study, if properly nuanced.

I think we can both agree that even 1 racist is 1 too many. Racism is  
a corrosive vice, helping nothing and hurting all who come into  
contact with it.
