You weren't supposed to do the math, you were only supposed to think "Bad white men!"

(5,417 posts)3. his quote "you are 7 times more likely to be killed by a white than muslim
Muslims make up 1% of the population.
White people make up 63%.
If the quote is accurate a muslim is 9 times more likely to commit a mass shooting.
It just happens to be white people most of the time because they are the majority.
You could say white men make up 31.5% and Muslim man make up 1/2% but that doesnt change the odds.
