This is and has always been correct. The press/activists look at a thin slice of pizza and try to describe a restaurant district. But that is what shapes a lot of political narrative because people choose not to see the larger picture.

These graphs will be hand waved away by people who have a confirmation bias in a different direction.

Nice post, but sadly the people who need to hear it won't listen.
