    “Daily murder” is a sneaky rhetorical maneuver, considering it’s something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It’s easy for there to be a “daily murder” in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.

    Using “few” to trivialize/minimize the racism is no better.

    Shame on you for this disingenuity.

      Even when we go per capita the US stays a shithole, it’s not like they were trying to actively misinform people.
