It's no better than stormfront users spamming the stats about blacks in prison, black on white rape and crime etc.
As I said, statistically this event is irrelevant and doesn't add anything to discussion.

Saying that I'm no better than white supremacists on the basis of my fairly anodyne comments is pretty clearly crossing the line.
I hope that you are not being sincere.
In any case, as I already addressed your point about "statistical significance", it appears that you have nothing further to contribute to the discussion.

Don't put words in my mouth.
The suggestion that we shouldn't worry about hate crimes until they're a leading cause of death for members of minority groups presumably doesn't deserve a response. Even in the Jim Crow south, it's not as if a majority of black people died from being lynched.
It's quite silly to suggest that I'm 'fearmongering' merely by referencing something that's already all over the news. I don't think my mention of this incident deep within an HN thread is likely to cause anyone to be more frightened than they already are.
