Same!

But with a view from race.

If you tell a leftist about racial differences in average IQ, he will say the tests are pseudo-science, and that the testing is done by racists. If you tell a leftist about racial differences in school performance, he'll say America's school system is racist and that black schools are underfunded, dooming blacks to poverty. If you show a leftist who commits crime, he'll say the real problems are poverty, racist cops, and racist judges.

There is no statistic a leftist can't dismiss with a line about poverty, racism, or both. I have never met a leftist genuinely interested in finding out the truth. For many, just questioning their convictions is proof of bigotry.

Leftists often ignore statistics when they argue that something is true. If they want more welfare, they tell sad stories about poor people. If they want gun control, they tell heartbreaking stories about innocent victims.
