It could just be the particular writer's style, I doubt it is meant to misrepresent the facts, since there's no need to do so in this case, the facts by themselves are damning enough. 7%, when there should be about 30% means only 23% towards fair representation, that is still pretty bad. Of course there's the issue of the education pipeline. You should don a hazmat suit before descending into internet comment sections, especially when it is about race.
