I think the media misrepresentation is part of it. The other factor is that a ton of people are just plain stupid and have zero grasp in percentages.

I was going to say this as well. Sure, media is partially responsible, but I'll just note for the record:

Native American 27%
Black 41%
Hispanic 39%
Asian 29%

So according to this data, Americans believe those four demographics alone account for 136% of Americans. And I'll note that this doesn't include Arab/ME and white. So if you included them, we would probably end up with percentages that ended up somewhere around the 200% range

People are fricking awful with statistics.

I agree that it’s pretty ignorant, but to be fair, there are people also think that hundreds of unarmed black people are mauled by cops, while they’re minding their own business heading to class at Harvard.

Also, the 12% do tend to scream the loudest. They sound like they’re 100% of the country sometimes.

The level of stupidity measured by that chart is mind blowing.


The boomers and Gen Xer’s who all worked blue collar jobs wanting a good college education for their kids has had the opposite effect on the population than what they thought. Everyone is dumber instead of more educated. My generation and gen z are stupid as frick.

The Black Lives Matter movement and black nationalists and all those calling for a race war

I've always thought that that would be a way to finally teach math

And white liberals would learn a different lesson

my hope is it never comes to that

But Hispanics would ultimately win

Who thinks 20% earn more than $1M/yr?

The same envious fricks who think they can solve a budget deficit with a wealth tax.

And people wonder why it's so easy for the CIA, Alphabets, Beaureacrats, MSM, Hollywood, Ad Execs, Pols, Bankers, etc..to absolutely disrespect and BuFu the ignorant unwashed masses.

They see sheep for shearing.
