If someone tells you wealthy blacks commit more crimes than poor whites and you automatically believe it and repeat it without research, its because some part of that statement aligns enough with your prior ideas about race that you WANT to believe it. yeah kind of this too. like if you tell me that statistic i will first of all press X to doubt, but also i'll think "well okay but can we examine the society those people live in, their economic standing, how they were brought up, how they were treated by society, etc, that might lead to a stat like that". so i can see why, if someone doesn't very thoroughly vet a statistic like that before quoting it, it's sort of... willful ignorance. (for the record i have no clue where the stat comes from and/or what about it is wrong) <cite>Dels posted [p:913604414] in Do you lik...
