I asked you to think about why a stat might be popular.

You cited an article without personal comment.

I quoted your article back to you.

You refused to acknowledge the citation as a factor in your statistic, but also don’t have another argument without that statistic.

Lmfao, from your article:

it seems more research exploring the role of structural forces (e.g., the labor market, policies, racism, etc.) would be a fruitful avenue for advancing our understanding of the enduring racial inequality in child poverty and the penalties attached to child poverty risks.

Even your article calls out that racism is a major factor that should be studied. Glad you agree.

The fact that you “know it’s a talking point” but don’t know the statistics makes me feel that you should re-think who created the statistics in the first place and why.
