Reply to comment by TargetMost8136 in [OC] Fatal Police Shootings in the US: Racial disparities. In absence of racial differences, the probability of fatal police encounters would be the same across racial groups. It is not. Black/African Americans are 4.5 times more likely to have a fatal encounter with the police than Asian Americans. by HitchHux

Reservations can be very difficult and dangerous depending. Lots of drugs, alcohol, and often very few options of meaningful employment. Very similar to the issues that plague underprivileged black communities due to this countries strong past of segregation (whether by law or simple social norms).

Reply to [oc] Currently this is the hiring process/model of recruitment between candidates and employers in the US since 2021 & forward. Data/Procedures with SankeyMATIC by Likeitisouthere

I really want to learn more about why it is that people are so divided on this issue. I mean it's pretty easy to find examples of it, but why? Why is this such a unreconcilable difference of opinions? I mean shouldn't this be verifiable one way or another?

It's fascinating to watch.

Is it cause African Americans are 1.5 times more likely than whites to be commiting violent crime? (I actually don't know, but that would explain it)

It does have a lot of variance I agree, but it has been consistently very high though. Doesn’t seem like it’s just due to a small sample

Overlap this chart with another chart that shows violent crimes committed per capita based on race, and what type of crimes.

Also, give a chart that shows resisting arrest reports per capita based on race.

Don't just throw all this out there without context.

Yeah, you didn’t read the study. Not like you’re going to.

Nor did you even at the very least read/comprehend the part that I posted in my comment. That would have been more than enough to stop your from typing what you did.

Control for income/education. I bet it really tightens everything up and you'd end up with a meaningful number.

Their population is so small that any activity results in a much higher average. Also why it has so much variation

This assumes that the chances of speeding for any race is equally likely. If white people speed less then they will likely get pulled over less. Same for any races and vice versa. It doesn't imply racism.

Reply to comment by Miserly_Bastard in [OC] License to work? States ranked by number of low-income jobs requiring licenses by tildenpark

Again, I disagree. I don't think the license should be expensive, but having making it a test to get a license is a good idea. I'm pretty sure you don't need to take any training as long as you can pass the tests. If licensing is removed, anyone can claim they can perform those tasks without the knowledge and if they don't know how the consumer gets harmed. Without regulations how does one know to learn what is needed and what isn't needed for their equipment? There are plenty of people that do hair and nails from their house without licenses, but I'm not going there.

There are different kinds of crimes, some of them can't be over-policed, like a murder.
