I’m also not familar with the template. But it should speak for itself anyway. Diagrams are always selections. If you want a complete data representation you would need a table. If the author of the diagram wanted to show the effect of racial prejudices it would show the actually convicted offenders. There is enough space for another column.

Well yes. Those statistics are paining a picture of black people being much more likely to be murderers than white people because of their skin colour. It makes it seem like the skin colour is the issue. Since skin colour is inherited that would mean tendencies to murder people are also inherited. Which would form a basis on which racist actions are justified. All of this just because the graph oversimplifies. The actual factors that cause people to commit homicide are complex and include amongst others income, gender, upbringing, view of women and mental health issues. Those correlate with skin colour but require very different actions to solve.

It’s from an old election ad from 1994 by Merz. I couldn’t find the original so just watch the first 40 seconds of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxuJekayt0M&t=105

You are beeing very vague in what you describe so I wil be as well. If that means I’m talking about something else I’m sory. As a cis guy the way I understand it is, that some spaces meant for internal discussion about problems that are unique to LGBTQ+ people in order to share experience and advice where most people who are not part of the group can’t say anything since they aren’t affected. Since that is most people hetero peple are not welcome there in general for simplicity’s sake. Those spaces are not meant as an Information desk and they don’t have to be one since there are other spaces on the internet that can act as that. No one should have to be forced to be an information provider for something they are born with. The same as no blind person is obligated to answer your questions about their condition.
