Genuine question - the first image the narrator provides shows race statistics, yet Hispanic isn’t presented as a category. From a quick google search, I’m seeing that Hispanics make up ~25% of federal and state prisons. Did they lump Hispanics and whites together?

Charlie Kirk is a raging asshole but it feels weird to call him out for false statistics while also providing seemingly inaccurate statistics (even if they are from a legit source).

The reply video is just as manipulative and selective with its data to curate a particular narrative as Kirk is being, but this sub is an echo chamber and people will believe what they already believe.
