No, when you twist information to support racist views, that's racist.

very often people who try to cite statistics in an argument have no idea why the statistic came to be in the first place and just see a number and go "HOW CAN YOU ARGUE WITH THIS?!" as if it exists in a vacuum

There are definite ways to apply a racist view to things. Like all the shit about IQs or people who use crime statistics to act like Group X is inherently bad because they make up XX% of crimes and that kind of shit.

Depends, the race iq link or crime rates have little actual hard data and more likely ties directly into upbringing and socioeconomic background.
