And I really don't get the point of the comic. The idea that black people commit disproportionately more crimes is invalid because it ignores other factors that lead to crime. Poverty, over-policing, and decades of policies deliberately designed to hurt the black community are to blame.
But trying to argue per-capita measurement is invalid? That's just bizarre.
under-policing of genuine crime like wage theft, too. if you only prosecute people with melanin...
I've generally heard the 13/53 numbers as referencing violent crime but who knows if that's what it actually is because I've only ever heard people us it when being super racist.
yeah I wonder a lot about the actual statistics of crime, violent crime, financial crime, labor crime etc., because the prodigious enforcement against poc, and the damn near global under-enforcement of the white collar class...
