I can't think of a title to fit this.
But then, look who published it.
Study Finds Latinos Are Twice As Likely To Perform Heroic Deeds
By Adrian Carrasquillo
Published January 14, 2011
| Fox News Latino

The past week has been spent trying to figure out why Daniel Hernandez ran towards gunfire to help a congresswoman. But according to a new study the reason for his heroic deed might be clear -- he is Latino.

A Stanford University study by Professor Emeritus Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues found that both blacks and Hispanics were twice as likely as whites to have performed heroic deeds, USA Today reported.

Zimbardo plans more research on the reasons for the ethnic and racial differences. He speculated that it could be due to "greater opportunities to respond" or possibly that "being discriminated against makes them have more compassion to others in need."

The nationally-representative sample of 4,000 adults found that 20 percent of respondents qualified as heroes who had helped during a dangerous emergency, taken a stand against injustice, or sacrificed for a stranger.

New research would seem to support President Obama's observation Wednesday night in Tucson that "heroism is here, all around us."

Blacks and hispanics are twice as likely as whites to commit crimes.

Guess that cancels out yet another useless identity-politics propaganda 'study'.

Though you don't say it, I'll assume that you disagree with the study.

Could you please point out specifically which methodologies used in the study that you disagree with.

Thanks

Daniel Hernandez did what he did because of whats inside him, not because he is latino.

Can't wait for 2050, CNN predicts their population to triple in the US by then! Yes, sarcasm. Just some more pro-illegal propaganda. Wait, am I saying most illegals are Latino?

What does this have to do with illegal-immigration and why is anyone so worked up over this?

People really know how to show their lack of intelligence on this forum....

What I dislike is not what the article is about. So stop trying to devert the issue.
Besides, it's more "disbelief" than "dislike".

It is just your opinion that the members in here lack intelligence. At any rate it is considered a violation of the rules of this forum to insult any members in that way. Keep those opinions to yourself. The "truth" IMO is just the opposite for those who are anti-illegal immigration in here.
