Writer Looks Like Idiot When Using Faulty Data to Attack Ann

    The Guardian published an article on Wednesday, July 15, 2015, by Jason Nichols. It is about problems in the Hispanic and black communities being caused by racism.

    Here is one sentence of Nichol's:

"Donald Trump and Coulter are perfect examples of the fact that Latinos and black Americans share common enemies."

    Here's a quote about Ann's Hispanic rape comments:

"...Coulter and others sound eerily like Dylann Roof (and could have potentially been his influences)..."

    Here is the part where the major stupidity is put on display:

"Trump, bestselling author and regular Fox News guest Ann Coulter and many other hateful voices from the far right have said black people and Latinos are rapists – and they use skewed statistics to back their claims... [T]hey tend to leave out the fact 70% of child molesters are white males." [Hyperlink original.]

    Here is the explanation:

    1. Nichols links to a website focused on giving out tips for life, not an actual reliable source.

    2. Nichols wrote white males are 70% of child molesters. The unreliable source does not even say that. It says whites (male and female), not white males. We will let this claim slide due to obvious reasons.

    3. Nichols' source says 14% of Hispanic inmates are convicted for offenses against children. The Federal Bureau of Prisons does not have stats specifically for child molestation, but let's overestimate by lumping together Homicide + Aggravated Assault + Kidnapping Offenses + ALL Sex Offenses = 10% of inmates. That percentage could easily be rounded down to 5% or 3% to only account for offenses against children. So that just shows you how much Hispanics molest children when compared to everyone else.

    4. Nichols' source lumps Hispanics and whites together. The white population + the Hispanic population = 78%, while still only being 70% of child molesters.

    Like Nichols' source, the Bureau of Justice Statistics also lumps whites and Hispanics together for rape statistics.

    Let us look at a source that is about rape in general (not just child rape). It mentions rape stats for whites, blacks, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Amerindians/Alaskans, and mixed race people.

    The terms "Hispanic," "Latino," and "Mexican" do not show up at all (in the two sources provided), in spite of Hispanics being the largest minority group in America. While looking at crime stats, always check first to see if Hispanics are counted as white.
