After reading the post several times, I'm still not sure whether you're making an actual argument. Which is really unusual. It reads to me like a mockery of an issue that is quite serious to other people. Which I would think is unproductive. Honest question: Cognitive dissonance?https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1271538487242575872 …

I actually want to know the answer. Seems useful.

Your question, to me, appears to misrepresent the problem by selectively reducing it to a context in which the problem is small (few Ivy league students are shot, few blacks are Ivy League students), for the presumed purpose of a "Gotcha!" point. You might call that a tell.

Incorrect. I'm controlling for as many variables as possible to isolate racism. My speculation is that Ivy League students from any culture have a lot in common in terms of how they might handle a police encounter, as in being polite and smart.

That's a flawed comparison in many ways. The police force at/around Ivy League universities could be trained and act very differently from the police force in black neighborhoods. The encounters would take place in a context very different from the average black-police encounter.

So long as those variables are all similar except for race, we should still see a difference (albeit with less violence overall).
