@jonoleth @ryanc @LaserMistress Like, it's not even clear that there is an overrepresentation phenomenon to any degree that is compatible with the meme. At least in the United States. Whites don't seem to be hired with any appreciably greater frequency than any other race, and are even worse off than some others. And the differences in unemployment can't account for the disparity seen in the meme (mind the Y axis scale btw). It seems like a fabrication.

@jonoleth @ryanc @LaserMistress Have I made some sort of error? If so, can you argue to that error? If so, what's the argument for the error?

jonoleth replied to Nick

@nick @ryanc @LaserMistress you're trying to turn this into a debate by countering arguments that no one is making, and it's really weird

Nick replied to jonoleth

@jonoleth You literally told me what the argument was, and I countered it. Just take the L instead of doing these weak character attacks that just make you look like you're not tracking the conversation.
