These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.
If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.
Cute of you to assume policy is trying to improve anything here when policy is clearly to drive people into bad economic situation, data speaks for itself.
Sure we can measure by demographics but the real issue is that ruling class is enabled by the state to fuck everybody for profit
And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.
To be fair, it’s no joke to be a minority in either Russia or China either, so they are pretty poor countries to use for that comparison, as they actually are worse in most regards.
People have hard time understanding basic concept that just because we are getting fucked here that doesn't mean we would not be getting fucked in China or Russia...
