On New Year's Eve 2015 I saw mention of the Cologne mass attacks on women by refugees *as they were occurring* on, yes, 4chan/pol/, and checked /r/worldnews and /r/europe to find out more. I didn't see anything and assumed that it was another /pol/ "it's happening" dank maymayism. I did not imagine that those subreddits, as well as mass media in general, were collectively suppressing reports of the attacks until the sheer volume made it impossible to continue to do so.
(Cue "/pol/ was right" couplet)

You probably guessed a figure between 25 and 40% <https://np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3ncaz8/til_that_americans_consistently_overestimate/ https://np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3ncaz8/til_th...>. The answer is 12-13% <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_Sta...>. Yes, a group less than 13% of the population continues to pose many dilemmas for a nation of 320 million, 150 years after the end of slavery and 50 years after the end of legal oppression.
