> "That is a certainty" doesn't cut it for me. That's merely a claim or thesis, not a statement of fact, not necessarily wrong but not necessarily true or the whole picture either. We don't need to provide evidence or the complete picture for everything. If I say 'That is a certainty' that London has a larger population than Dover, it's not necessary to provide a citation or a detailed picture. The existence of discrimination in the areas I mentioned easily falls into that category. I didn't say it was the whole picture; that would require writing books, not HN comments. > Same for your other claims. Almost all my other statements were reasoning about data. > What I find interesting is you instantly leaping to "discrimination/oppressions explains it all". I didn't say that and I didn't leap to my conclusions; I'm not sure how you imagine to know what my thinking process was or how long it took. I saw data, shared it, and reasoned a bit about the evidence.
