something to do with the media trying to fan the flames of a new cold war? maybe r*dditors might introspect about consequences of their own rampant fearmongering? no sweaty dont be silly, its black peoples skull shape

    from the article "More than half of the offenders were white, and 21% of the offenders were African American."

    this is why the r*dditors are going nuts about black people in the comments because its higher than the national percentage of black people, and its too much work to factor in that crime is mostly done to people in close proximity and (due to some totally mystifying factors probably related to skull shape and nothing else), american cities can be kinda racially-segregated, so that if you corrected for local demographics the racial component would presumably all but disappear

      just reflect their own statistics back at them.

      "if Blacks are 13% and commit 50% of the crime, but only commit 21% of the crime against Asians, that means they're committing less crime against Asians"
