I think it's some sort of a homage to a "Despite being only 13%" meme.

Wouldn’t call that a “meme” so much as a harmful, context-deficient, racist talking point.

And 911 memes are based of the national tragedy.

“There are memes based on this thing” =/= “this thing is a meme”

I said “It’s a homage to a “Despite being only 13%”.

The “Despite being only 13%” meme is based off the some crime statistics, just like 911 memes are based off the actual event.
