>>12867240statistically they are more likely
>thats a manipulationno, thats a fact
however this doesnt say anything about some black dude i pick on the street as an individual, that would be a racist assumption to make
when i then decide to continue picking black people at random and compare them to a sample of a white population the chance that those of the black population have committed legal infractions in comparison to the other sample might be higher
this is statistics
its important to realize that statistics is descriptive and not prescriptive
prescribing group identity on individuals is racist practice, unless the individual themselves proves to fall in line with the alleged group description
this is the moment when the accusation becomes justified and is descriptive for that specific individual
