Van Helsing Even Breathalyzers Are Racist

Under Chairman O, get ready for the steady flow of absurd racism claims to become a cataract. It's already beginning:

A lawyer representing a man charged with drunken driving claims Connecticut's breathalyzers discriminate against blacks.

According to the shyster,

research shows that the lung capacity of a black man is 3 percent smaller than a white man and, therefore, black men's test results vary from the sobriety standard set by the device.

That smaller lung capacity must be why you see so few black athletes.

When he's done getting his drunken client off, maybe the lawyer can use this for a race-based suit against tabacco companies — provided they haven't been looted into bankruptcy yet.
