I’m also not familar with the template. But it should speak for itself anyway. Diagrams are always selections. If you want a complete data representation you would need a table. If the author of the diagram wanted to show the effect of racial prejudices it would show the actually convicted offenders. There is enough space for another column.

Well yes. Those statistics are painting a picture of black people being much more likely to be murderers than white people because of their skin colour. It makes it seem like the skin colour is the issue. Since skin colour is inherited that would mean tendencies to murder people are also inherited. Which would form a basis on which racist actions are justified. All of this just because the graph oversimplifies. The actual factors that cause people to commit homicide are complex and include amongst others income, gender, upbringing, view of women and mental health issues. Those correlate with skin colour but require very different actions to solve. So pushing back against those oversimplified statistics and removing them is good since the takeaway’s from it are wrong.

With both parties working against the most of the american people and most of the media being in the pocket of some rich guy I don’t know how this is going to change other than rewriting the constitution to change how the american political system works. And being defeated in a war seems to be one of the only moments in time where this can happen. And as a non american I’d prefer if they duked it out amongst themselves. Pulling others into it seems unfair and the US might actually win. I’d much prefer if an alternative to war though since its one of the worst things that can happen to a person. I don’t know how it would look though. Please enlighten me me if you do.
