What's the point of mentioning her race? And what does her being from Queens have to do with anything. Whole sections of Queens are all white or damn near all white.

So was the Queens woman claiming self-defense because of what the Hindi might have done, based on the erroneous identificaton of the man as an Arab?

If she was looking for an Arab, all she had to do was hail a taxi.

And there are whole sections that are black, chinese, Greek, Italian, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Indian, Arab. What's your point?

I think in Florida, she could have simply shot him - and then argued that she felt threatened.

That would be 50/50 as almost half the taxi drivers are Hindu or Pakistani. Arabs work private car and limo service. I guess you didn't know that.

Yup. Although, I sometimes wonder if it's not more of an "anti-anyone-who-is-not-exactly-like-me" sentiment. People on this forum sure do harbor a lot of hatred toward others.
