Original:
You're using statistics for the whole USA. There are half a million people here, you're just regressing to the mean, some states have a larger percent nonwhite people.
Hawaii has 25 percent whites, so my estimate was correct.
Edit: also, your stats are wrong, see the other comment and get some perspective.
- fastball 7y agoI'm confused, why are you going on about Hawaii? From looking at the GP's account info, they seem to teach at a school in Virginia, which is 94.2% white.
- battery_cowboy 7y agoClearly you're not arguing in good faith, since you also didn't know at that time where the commenter was from, so have a good night and continue to fear that your race is being threatened or something like that.
- fastball 7y agoI'm not arguing in good faith? Your point was that using national stats was inaccurate as GP could've been in a state with a lower proportion of whites. However, due to how averages work, it was just as likely that GP was located in a state with a higher proportion of whites than the national average. Then, when I actually bothered to check GP's profile and found out that apparently GP works at a college in Virginia and communicated that fact to you, you started throwing around accusations of "bad faith" and checked yourself out of the conversation. You then added to that with an accusation that I am somehow (despite saying nothing even remotely like this) worried about whites being replaced or similar nonsense. This was compounded by your assumption that I am even white to begin with, or that I even live in the United States. I think some self-reflection might be worthwhile. Projecting your own failings onto others is never a good way to have a conversation.

- battery_cowboy 7y agoI don't know man, lots of other people agreed with me and you seem to have several low voted comments defending yourself, seems like you're the one who may need to reflect. I'm not going to argue any further, though, I'm comfortable with my position and I'd rather not waste my time with you.
