High-income liberals and conservatives (top 25%) have similar resources, but very different family sizes. Especially men. 0.75 children vs 3.14 at the extremes (tiny n). There is a stepwise increase. Bar chart of mean children by political ideology for high-income adults ages 35-45 (top 25% family income, GSS 2014-2024). Pink bars show women rising from 1.48 (extremely liberal) to 2.43 (extremely conservative); blue bars show men from 0.75 to 3.14.

87 nationalities had a higher sexual offence conviction rate than the British population, which already includes non-whites. Do you think the myth buster mentioned this “myth.”

No she whined about search disparities because she can’t figure out what an appropriate base rate is. Image
If a visa/asylum system imports a disproportionately young-male pop, the unadjusted crime contribution is policy relevant. Using adjusted stats is unless you’re switching to importing grandmothers from Sudan.
The number of foreign nationals in prison is shaped by policies that allow, at least some, prisoners to be deported before the end of their sentences. Does this happen with Native Brits?

Somalis in Canada are getting an entire month in their honor. And don’t you think it’s about time? Look at the economic impact.

58.5% of Somali men had zero employment income a full decade in Canada. Zero.

Here is how they stack against other refugees. Share of refugee men with no earnings. Source: Statistics Canada. @smirkley
7 in 10 Somali women reported no earnings 10 years in. Zero. Share of refugee women with no earnings. Source: Statistics Canada. @smirkley
StatCan tracked every major refugee cohort to Canada, 1980-2009. Earnings per adult man 10 years after landing: Somalia men $11.2k? That can’t be right. Refugee earnings per adult man by source country. Source: Statistics Canada. @smirkley

12 years ago, a woman made and released a viral video documenting street harassment in New York.

Liberals noticed, because their ability to notice only goes so far, that almost all of the catcallers shown were black or Hispanic. So they called her racist.

To placate the mob, she suggested white men behaved similarly and promised the release of follow-up footage. She never did. For the obvious reason that it didn’t exist.
