I really don’t understand the use of statistics like this. Like, ok, frauds were lower significantly than hate attacks. BUT, wouldn’t showing there are 21000 hate attacks in a country of 300M+ also show that number as statistically insignificant?
So if the argument is that frauds are not an issue due to the percentages, then really the hate attacks being like .000007 percent of the population are not really an issue due to percentages (forgetting even diving into the 21K number deeper on how many were perpetrated by White vs Black vs others, how many were race related vs religion or sexual preference regardless of race, etc).
The argument here, with real people, isnt the percentages; its that despite it being statistically irrelevant for the most part that these things are damaging. If that is the case, whether its 48 or 21000 what they stand for and represent are the issues; not necessarily the numbers.
