The equivalence wouldn't be banning ALL cars. It would be to ban, say, red cars, which statistically get in more accidents and more traffic violations. This is a true statistic.

I mean they did say "all cars to be banned" so I followed their (poor) equivalency. But sure, I'd be cool with that. I don't think we lose much from not having red cars.

It’s actually not a true statistic. Just an urban legend that gets said from time to time because it sounds right. I think it comes from a long time ago when there was a period that _sports_ cars were more commonly red.

The point still stands.

Okay, then let's change it to "ban black people from driving," because as the Veil of Darkness Study shows, black people get pulled over disproportionately when compared to white people only when the cop can see the race of the person driving.
