THE FLAWED LOGIC OF RACE-CRIME STATISTICS

 A new report by the Ontario Human Rights Commission released Monday concludes Black people are disproportionately arrested and charged by Toronto Police compared to whites.

But it also found white people are disproportionately arrested, and charged by Toronto Police compared to visible minority groups, other than Blacks, which it collectively identified as “Asian, Aboriginal and Brown” people.

Should we thus conclude that not only are Toronto Police systemically racist against Blacks compared to whites (and other visible minorities), but also systemically racist against whites compared to “Asian, Aboriginal and Brown” people?
