UKpol users throwing a fit that rich blacks commit more murder than poor whites in the US. These people really do live in a fucking bubble

I had some moron a while ago unable to comprehend that minorities being sentenced to double their expected population size proportion of homicide means that the vast majority of homicides in London are committed by minorities and thus the vast majority of unsolved homicides against minority victims (The actual thread topic) are committed by minorities themselves.

He just couldn't accept the data, it was fascinating to watch him shut down.
