This is why I left my old job in data journalism. When people explain their experiences of abuse and discrimination, you don't reply with a bar chart (especially when that bar chart is such a crap one).
So so so many things wrong with this but one of the most obvious ones is that Muslims made up about 1% of the US population, Black people made up 12%. You don't just throw those bars down side by side (this is truly some math 101 shit).
