One of the most depressing/irritating things in modern political and current affairs discourse is how standard it has become to say things like “X group is stopped more frequently by police” with the implication that the expectation is for equal rates of stopping. Basically the entire point of the entire discipline of statistics is that there are covariates, and substructure within a population, that cause expected rates to differ, even in the absence of the sorts of bias that are the focus. I wouldn’t want my children to think that sort of content was anything less than stupid since if they did not, they would be unable to think rationally about data.
