- alias_neo 8y agoI don't think you understand how statistics work, and you've pasted this comment a couple of places in this thread. Let me try one; People interested in technology make up the largest portion of people who have read your comment. See the problem yet?
- kolanos 8y agoI understand statistics just fine. I didn't say that white males are more likely to be shot in proportion to their population. But in terms of absolute numbers, white males are #1 -- so the "unless you're white" comment is both inaccurate and unhelpful to the discussion.
