@JamiraBurley Murder is illegal everywhere in the US. BUT to explain what’s going on here, some have proposed that lynching in specific be a federal crime on top of the state laws. That is not currently the case. Whether or not that’s a good proposal though, lynching is definitely not legal.

The implied criticism is just totally wrong. Oversampling a group in your data collection doesn't mean they are over represented in the topline or crosstabs. When you oversample you adjust the weighting so that the group you oversample still makes up the correct % of the total
