Check OP I’m responding too. His question is why racists don’t call for a male immigration ban - not a statistical thought experiment.


I believe they are simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the racist rant. Racists claim that the reason they are against immigration from certain countries because of the increase in crime rate they would allegedly bring.

Your tone clearly indicates skepticism; "racist rants", "allegedly."

PS: Moralizing condescension isn't conducive to a positive response.


> "racist rants"

It is true that I'm being condescending to racists. I'm also not expecting a positive response if the person (not necessarily you) I'm engaging is racist. It would be foolish.

> "allegedly"

Allegedly doesn't mean that they are wrong. It simply means that I don't know if they are wrong or right, because I don't have enough data. If I thought it is complete bollocks I would have written it as such.

Also you seem to ignore that the main point of my comment is the "hypocrisy", i.e. only pointing out racial statistics, ignoring the gender (and possibly other variables, such as age) related ones.
