I still maintain that you need to look at all the data to draw meaningful conclusions.
For example
Population of the US
Black - 13%
White - 63%
Latino - 1.8%
National Basketball Association players
Black - 74.4%
White - 23.3%
Latino - 1.8%
I could use these numbers to ask why is there a disproportionate number of black NBA players - I could use it to suggest that the association is riddled with racism, or I could say that there are other reasons that are not covered by this data.
For the record, I do think the US has a race problem, but I don't think it is as widespread nor institutionalised in the nation or the police force as people are trying to make out.
Cheers,
Nigel
