@Raydeus84 @realchrisrufo You add "half" when you don't want to say it's true. Usually some BS excuse about "lacking context" that can get arbitrarily applied to any statement ever made, no matter how accurate.

The genetic ancestry of South America. Weird how Argentina has a green piece that isn't even included on the legend. My guess is that it's Ashkenazi, which is usually assigned a similar color by 23andme, and Argentina is known for its high Jewish pop for South American standards.

Reminder not to use this graph, as it's wrong. The US gun homicide death rates by race are correct for 2016. But the other countries are way over-estimated, because the creator used gun homicides for the US, but gun deaths for the other countries.

Indian Olympians for the 2024 Paris Olympics, by state. I got state populations through ChatGPT, so it may be a little off. (ironed out a hole in the data from a previous post)
