several things. We can debate why or if they are fair etc but they are facts nonetheless

you know how there is the stereotype of Asians, especially Asian women driver's being poor drivers? well that stereotype is based on some truths. they do tend to be sh*tty drivers.

unfortunately it's almost impossible to get any reliable stats on "bad driving" other than on fatalities. when those are looked at the deaths are pretty close between whites, blacks, and Hispanics but Asians are low and American Indians are high on this list. that correlates with alcohol use really but that does nothing to really explain other dangerous driving or just "bad" driving.

I can't tell you why, maybe it's lack of driver's ed or lack of a parent (dad) to teach them, or b/c in urban areas they are unlikely to practice driving when they are younger, or b/c it's fashionable for black people to put their seat way back and lay it way down (unsafe driving position), but black people tend to drive poorly in my experience.

in my experience, again we can debate the why, but their cars are more likely to be licensed improperly and be uninsured or have vehicle defects. Their licenses themselves are more likely to be suspended and/or revoked. that can be a function of being stopped more, poverty, etc. I get that. you could drive around all day in most suburban areas and run license plates and not find one improperly registered. but you do that in the 'hood and it's like shooting fish in the barrel.

Violent crime is more prevalent in urban areas where blacks are frequently concentrated. Police are deployed in high crime areas such as these and are encouraged, if not mandated in many cases, to do "proactive policing". Meaning go out and look for criminal/suspicious behavior rather than just react to 911 calls. we can again debate the merits of this but officers are literally made to go out and do traffic stops etc. This is going to result in more black people being stopped.

you can drive around a nice suburban area and write tickets for traffic violations but you're not all that likely to find guns, drugs, warrants etc.

you patrol around in the hood and do violations and you can find lots of that stuff. Adn that isn't to say there aren't some drugs and guns in suburban areas but it's harder to develop the probable cause to find them. if someone has a warrant or is suspended/revoked etc it's quite easy to get into the car to search it for drugs/weapons etc. And again, i don't want to suggest that this is how I think is SHOULD be just that i'm telling you this is what the reality is.

lastly Officers tend to get way more disrespect from blacks they stop. Asians are by FAR the most polite. Being polite goes a long way and a lot of city officers have better things to do than traffic stops that lead to just a ticket. But if you're rude and disrespectful you can be sure you're going to get as many tickets as they can throw at you.

this leads to that cycle of suspended/revoked licenses and warrants.

also, I can assure you it's really not that easy, especially at night, to see what race the driver is until after you have stopped them. it's oftentimes not even that easy in the day time.

all this to say that there's a lot more to it than just mere stats.
