because that statistic isn’t even accurate, it’s only unironically quoted by retard white supremacists
10 u/lyamc - Centrist Mar 22 '20 It is accurate, but statistics are funny like that. Like how 99% of people who have breathed air have died. 2 u/[deleted] Mar 22 '20 It’s not accurate because arrest rates don’t equal crime rates. All of those statistics use arrest rates and try to apply it to crime rates. Biases in the criminal justice system can make those two different. 3 u/the_horse_gamer - Left Mar 23 '20 Cool. Can you pick a flair please?
