Zeitgueist posted:I guess the negro is just naturally more criminal, also their ~culture~ because rap music. I'm not saying that it's done at the undergrad level, i'm just saying that the "It's not race, just poverty" explanation is trivially debunked. It was used as an example in class when I learned multivariate regression.

Zeitgueist posted:Yeah how did that go over with the minorities in class? The class was 90% minorities (Chinese/Indian) and there were no real issues. V.

Zeitgueist posted:You can also determine if crime drops in areas proportionally with a rise in incomes at a similar rate to other races which it does. It does, but these parameters can be compared to one another.
