the chances of each one in fact being a violent criminal are vastly different.

Reducing people to chances based on a single factor is deeply dehumanising. The statistics aren’t wrong; the interpretation and application is.

Individually, we can’t do a whole lot. But we can do our part to break that cycle, to treat people as people and stop normalising or excusing racism.
