They should remove that category.

Latino/hispanic is a geographical and linguistic description not racial or ethnic.

A white person from Mexico or an Asian person from Argentina are both considered Latino/hispanic

I cannot be convinced that Democrat politicians aren’t purposely keeping black people tied to welfare


It’s hard to process how terrible your average Dem thinks I am when I find them to be unimaginably disgusting and evil

Of course not, so why even have the statement. I believe she is white.

I've seen people honestly try to argue that per capita is meaningless.

Read the stat description again.

If what you are saying is true then the sum of %s should equal 100%.

I was reading the second more relevant graph.

It does.

Don’t forget to add the 17% race unknown.


ETA- it’s pretty close anyway. The two %s are almost 25% regardless.

They'll understand per capita the moment you say "more whites are killed by police annually than blacks"...

The people that don’t understand net worth vs income is even better. Nations full of idiots.

"Entitlements."

That's the term your government uses to explain how folks get to sit on their front porch after they get out of bed in the afternoon.

Yeah, I've seen some patterns in leftist debate style. One thing they do make an assertion, then you explain 3 reasons why their assertion is wrong, then they REPEAT THE ASSERTION LOUDER!!!!
Totally ignoring your 3 counter arguments.

The one about whether a new century starts on January 1, 2000 or January 1, 2001 is a pretty good one.

I once "discussed" violent crime statistics with a blck guy. He either couldn't or wouldn't understand the concept of per capita.
Same with this topic, some folks are either too dumb or too dishonest to waste energy on trying to explain. In my experience, generally speaking, most black folks share this trait. IMHO

I have an apple supplier and an orange supplier.

I receive 1000 apples and 100 are rotten.
I receive 100 oranges and 50 are rotten.


Which is my problem supplier?

I use this often to blank stares with people like that.
