Yeah, I think they should be comparing the worst of the past with the worst of today.

Too many people have not watched "cannibal warlords of Liberia" so they assume that the worst society today is one sexism and racism.

Maybe the median would make more sense? At least the 80-90th percentiles?

> cannibal warlords

I bet there used be a whole lot more of those (relatively) and in other countries than Liberia in the past too.
