#2 Yes is it 13% of the population commit 53% of the murder?

That's an uncomfortable mathematical conversation.

You're just proving their point, BP - math is racist!

#5 Yes is it 13% of the population commit 53% of the murder?

And it's really an even smaller subset of that 13% (black men aged 16-40 or thereabouts) that commits the bulk of those murders.

So it's more like less than 5% of the genpop doing more than half the murders.

#7 is it 13% of the population commit 53% of the murder?

We notice patterns, but not *those* kind of patterns, you racist! Can't we have a discussion without people bringing up facts all the time?

#13 It is time for all members of our profession to acknowledge that mathematics is created by humans and therefore inherently carries human biases.

Hahahahahahahahah Wrong.

Pi is pi. Triangles are triangles. Speed of Light is speed of light whether measured is miles/second, meters/year, or toilet paper rolls/taco bell.

Party of Science! Quick, base everything on Emotion!

Anyone heard of these clowns before?

#15 No, I haven't. But the mathematicians I know are not Americans.

#16 They should read Omnilingual(1957) by H. Beam Piper -- "Science is Universal".

#17 Party of Science! Quick, base everything on Emotion!

Would it be mean to ask them to show their work? I'd give 'em partial credit if they got the math right but just munged up the arithmetic.

#18 Showing work sounds a lot like hark of slavery, you racist.

The concern would be if they, for lack of a better word or maybe right word, monetize emotion and SJW points. I believe the Chinese have their Social Credit System built along such lines.

I only halfway kid about "Pokemon, SJW!" where participants figure their D&D sheet based on race, sexual orientation, gender, alignment, and special attributes to make a score which can be compared to others. Someone (or group) scores above another, they have the conch. Score below a certain number, and well you (they) get the haatz.

This would be backed by the Science! of all those University studies and dissertations, especially those in the Peter Vankman Style.
