If you think it makes any sense to "normalize" the data in the OP to produce "45X more likely", then you need to go back to school. And what school did you go to? TCU? Why don't you call up your old stats professors and ask for their comment on this?

I went to Louisiana State University.

and I still don’t think you understand magnitudes of data sets. but keep trying to flesh it out. it’s adorable. also, I’d love to know what point you’re trying to make exactly.

math says 550,000>60,000. especially when 13% commit the 550,000.

but keep using the word random. if I was a lawyer arguing against hate crimes I’d quote you

The point is that 45X is very manipulative and meaningless.

What you don't seem to grasp is the fact that 550,000:60,000 is roughly 9:1, and 61% to 13% is roughly 9:2. In other words, the statistics do show that BoW crime is more pronounced than WoB, but it's about 2X out of proportion, not 45X out of proportion.

He’s a hardcore prog, so he’s obligated to believe that whites/cops are hunting down blacks in the streets.

He also cheered on the coronavirus with uncommon devotion.
