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

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

And that’s the absolute BEST you can do, after massaging the data until it had a happy ending.

Bruh, are you a dumbass? 550,000 is BLACK on WHITE attacks. You're comparing that to white population. It should be compared to BLACK population. There are LESS black people committing MORE attacks. 550,000:60:000 is 9:1. 16%:84% is 1:5.25. 550,000/1 = 550,000. 60,000/5.25 is 11,428. 550,000/11,428 = 48.

And why would you use 61% and 13% when you're just considering BoW and WoB? You have to adjust the population. Your numbers are skewed by 26% of the population to begin with.
