Is there like a law or something that requires the claim of alarming
fecundity in various minority groups during discussions of population
growth? I mean, Ted Turner and his kin breed like mice; he alone has
had five kids and there's no reason to think he's stopped, despite
which I seem to be the only one agitating for a humane or at least
humane-ish capture, neuter and release program for the Turners. What
is it about them that makes people comfortable with the Turners
spilling out over the long suffering Earth like an all consuming
flood of pink, smugly entitled meat but nervous about Hispanics? What
could that subtle factor be?
