Nonsense

May 29, 2009 | industry | Comments (0)

In the otherwise interesting story about the credit access problems of Native-Americans, the reporter repeats silly claims of “targeting”:

Today, reservations are magnets for predatory lenders. According to research by the First Nations Development Institute, Indians are more likely than any other group to be targeted for payday loans, tax-refund loans and high interest rates. Even people with a business or finance background can find themselves mired in the mess.

Industries don’t “target.”  Stores are placed where there is need.
