Why not spend a few minutes goggling [sic]?
Because the issues at hand are complex and multifaceted -- and in general, one won't find meaningful insight into them by digging for stats to cherry pick for the sake of propping up one's point of view.
- yummyfajitas 10y agotl;dr; If I want to accuse a minority group of killing 500k people, causing droughts, controlling the world , usury and profiteering, or draining blood of christians and using it in religious rituals, that's a claim which requires no evidence at all. But if I dig up statistics suggesting certain more concrete and less conspiratorial claims are true, suddenly the issues are "complex and multifacted" and I've "cherrypicked". Um, ok.
