Why is racism wrong?

[Faith No More]

That isn't true, Ryantology. Racists often spend a lot of effort showing why those "outside" factors aren't as important as the egalitarians say they are. I had just shown you an example in which a racist proves that equally poor blacks and whites don't commit murder at the same per capita rate. In that example, the racist controlled for socio-economic status by confining his sample group to only "poor people" and then demonstrating that blacks commit about three times more murders than expected.

Do you understand that comparing white poor people to black poor people is not controlling for socio-economic factors? The cultures between a trailer park and and an urban ghetto are drastically different. You are comparing apples to oranges and then claiming the one factor you want to be relevant as the relevant one. If you truly want to control for race, which is ultimately impossible but one can control to a certain point, you would have to measure how two different races behaved in the same geographic and cultural area with similar economic statuses. You would also have to control for factors such as home-life and other life experiences.

So, what were you saying about racists properly using studies and statistics?
