Scientists Discover Strong Correlation Between Trusting Government And Eating Paint Chips

PRINCETON, NJ — Scientists have concluded a years-long study confirming the indisputable correlation between people putting trust in their government and people also eating paint chips.

The study results come at a time when more and more people believe our country's financial, political, and social problems can be solved by a powerful central government, just like Venezuela.

"Not only did paint chip eaters trust their government," said study co-author, Dr. Reynolds Swarthington while struggling to maintain a straight face, "but trust in government also ranked high among gasoline sniffers, toad lickers, and oven cleaner huffers."

During the five-year study following ingesters of leaded paint flakes, researchers stumbled upon myriad other conditions among the group, such as believing money grew on magical trees, socialism had benefits, and gender was some type of fluid.

In response to the published results, lawmakers proposed a bill supporting a universal basic paint chip supply for all Americans, to be funded by the magical money trees.

We don’t know the ethnicity of almost half of the cases so impossible to say one way or other

sounds like what stroller is saying is legit? :P

Either we don't know or the majority are white.

unless she wants to caveat from a proportional representation point of view.

But the whole point of what I’m saying. Whilst 2% more of the 50% of offenders are white than Asian ….you cannot ignore the fact that as only 9.3% of the population is Asian…then it’s a disproportionate crime commited by the Asian population.
It’s just plain maths.

i'm not disagreeing with you there. What Suella Braverman is saying is incorrect though. She's saying most of the grooming crime is committed by asians. Well no it isn't its < 50% by known population or unknown (as you put it) as the the vast majority of ethnicities are "unknown".

If she was to say grooming offences are disproportionately committed by asians that would be fine.

Anyway, you're getting a call from the pigs too considering 75% of men commit crimes

Maybe she was just being a ****.
But the truth remains…..however uncomfortable it may be.

Anyway….the film was good and thoroughly recommended

Interesting…..but then does that make the likes of Quillam, Maajid, Champion etc ‘dog whistling’ racists ?
Or is it that, so has been reported, the ethnicity of these groups is often not reported due to fears of accusations of racism ?

I think that's the issue, not how many are white/non-white etc.

You're not allowed to point that out!
Surely you know that by now?
