"A crime and politics blogger living in Austin, Texas, claims he was cuffed and detained by police for simply walking home with his five-year-old granddaughter.
The reason this happened, he says, is because he is white and she is black." (Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1)
reginaterrae for pointing it out.)
What do you think? Are the police more tolerant of that sort of thing in Prince George's County? Would a citizen be likely to report kidnapping due to differences in race from adult to child? I would like to think it wouldn't happen here. Does anyone know of something like that happening here even in the last decade?
I'm surprised how few people reported to the census that they are "two or more races" but they didn't take statistics on interracial marriages. I couldn't find statistics specifically on interracial marriage or couples in this county, but I did find Study Finds Acceptance of Interracial Marriage on the Rise "originally published February 17, 2012". If you know of any study or article or incident in this county, please let us know by commenting (comments are moderated, but you don't need to subscribe to comment).
