So if none of those terms are racial slurs for white people, then what, pray tell, is a racial slur for a white person? Do none exist?

Even wanting to change his last name to Zumbaya

Huh, what exactly does that have to do with anything? I don't recall anyone that I know or have heard of name "Zumbaya". I think that he might have tried to be funny.

Zumaya language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


That is like me saying that I wished that I was white and change my name to Italian

My numbers and facts are correct. You can choose to play ostrich, or accept them.

Yhanks for playing !
Perhaps a spelling course as well as a course in basic math would be a better use of your time than posting here.

You do not know any of the facts in this case.

I ran a statisical analysis to find the probability of finding five blacks in the sample, because I have a background in statistical analysis.

These are all facts. There is nothing to dispute here.
Sure there is; you're analysis can be disputed. You are basing your analysis on the assumption that the people were not suspicious and ran it on the basis of finding 5 blacks from the general population. If you were to say that people that commit crimes would be people that may appear suspicious and figured out the probability of finding five blacks from the population with criminal records, your results would be different.

Can you run the probability that a racist would volunteer his time to tutor minority kids without pay?
