Sephiroth1288 02/19/18 10:45:38 AM #40:	Balrog0 posted... Sephiroth1288 posted... Look at all the responses to this topic None of the challenges are based on any empirical claims. The idea that red states are so racist that hate crimes go unreported more often in them is unsupported by any evidence posted ITT, including Cyric's. I mean, the data does bear that out. Alabama (and Mississippi has a lot more than .5 million) has a lot more than 1 million people, but only 1 million people are covered by the participating agencies. Similar, though smaller, disparities exist in other southern states (Louisiana, Georgia, Indiana) A sample size of 1 million is more than enough to gauge a statistic like this. CyricZ posted... Okay, Sally. Let's address the fact that your data tells a minor portion of the story, so you don't get to play Brigadier High-Horse, here, either. I mean, let's not get away from the real reason you made this topic: to rile up CE liberals and watch them twist while you make like El Blaze from Virtua Fighter over here with "I have the data! You have NOTHING!" Correct. An argument with evidence beats an argument with zero evidence, obviously. CyricZ posted... I may not know the root cause of hate crimes as a factor of location, but I know CE troublemakers pretty well. I'm a troublemaker for pointing out realities that you don't like, huh? If you were actually as unbiased as you pretended to be, why are you more mad at me for showing blue states are more bigoted than red states with statistics than you are at everyone else for insisting that red states are more bigoted based on nothing? One of these things is not like the other! --- The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.
