>For arguments sake let’s assume the 99% figure is accurate. All you can do that information is know that 99% of blacks fit some stereotype. That’s it. You cannot know with absolute certainty that every black person you meet will fit this stereotype. and your point is? Of course I'm going to assume that something extremely likely is going to be true over something comparatively unlikely, nbeing less than 100% sure of something doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't make decisions based on statistics. Around blacks never relax is a thing for a reason, just because you have that 1% based black coworker doesn't mean you suddenly let your guard down around similar looking people when you know statistically they're the most likely to harm you. You seem to be under the impression that I shouldn't use statistical knowledge about behavior by demographics to inform my decisions until I have a deeper knowledge about the specific individual.
