So in other words, you want one simple solution that applies to all situations. And you think somehow this makes you scientific instead of dogmatic?

Nowhere have you even argued against anything I said. You are just insisting one simple solution that applies universally is best.

You are the worst type of statistician. One who wants to ignore human messiness and politics because they complicate things too much. You're basically trying to turn sociology into a study of universal constants, with all the parts that make humans an especially difficult topic to study removed.

Looks like it was closer to 1 in 10 (11.9%) vs. 7.2% who identify as such, but that was only last year. Before then it was well below.

Definitely sone shows have higher representation, just like some communities have higher representation.

in 2021, it was 0 in... however many characters in in all movies released that year. Last year it was 2 in... however many characters were in all movies last year.

To be clear, not just main characters, not just important side characters, all characters.

Yes that is precisely what science would consider a better explanation: to find a simple single solution that explains all the consistently odd results. Not to say “wow the same thing happens for all these different instances … Let’s assume one solution that fits our political agenda for one of them and then look for a completely different explanation for each of the other cases.”

The average size of a single family house in the US is about 2300 sq ft. About 70% of people in the US live in single family homes. I don’t know the stats on apartment units, but my guess is the average apartment is about 900-1000 sqft. That would make the grand average for all types of homes about 1800 sq ft.
