Why Mexicans Make MADD Mad

Edwin S. Rubenstein:

The number of alcohol related traffic fatalities has declined for the second straight year last year. That’s the good news. The bad news: mass immigration makes a sustained reduction in DUI deaths ever more difficult to achieve.

The fast growing immigrant group—Mexicans—are largely deaf to the designated-driver, just-say-no mantra promoted by groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). They are systematically more likely than other ethnic groups to drive, drink, and kill themselves (or others) in the process.

Many of us long suspected this. But only recently, when traffic fatality records were matched with ethnicity data on death certificates, that our hunches have been confirmed.

A study of more than 199,000 automobile fatalities in the U.S. over a four-year period calculates the percent of such deaths that were alcohol-related, as follows:

Mexicans: 55 percent

African-Americans: 45 percent

Whites: 44 percent

Bracketing the distribution are two smaller ethnic groups, Native Americans (68 percent) and Asians (28 percent).
