That is simply not how the English language works. There is no room for you to be correct about this.

I don't know if you know the Pew Research Center. If not, it is an organization that media outlets use as a source a lot.
Here is a recent headline. It says "57% of Americans says masks should be required on airplanes and public transportation"
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20...portation/
They should say, "57% of Americans say masks should be required on airplanes and public transportation, survey says"
That's not the published headline though. And many media outlets repeat that same headline as published. Many of them don't disclose that only a few thousand took their survey either.
I guess those journalists are incredibly, ignorant college graduates. I don't think so.
Or you may think they are intentionally misleading people too. Sometimes, they do. Sometimes, they don't.
Although, there will always be people who say a video or article is misleading. It doesn't mean that it is actually misleading to most people though.

Unreal. You're intentionally being obtuse. This comparison is nonsense. You used a bad clickbait title -- learn from being corrected and move on.

Yes, and needless to say that Pew Research Center is a reputable source with thorough (and publicly available) methodologies ...

Stupid argument. They didn’t say “Americans say masks should be required on airplanes and public transportation”. That would imply ALL Americans say that. (Just like your title implied “ALL” African Americans). They quantified it with a percentage. Stop trying to justify yourself.

I’m white and I preferred life in Rwanda and would have stayed if it were possible. Ultimately it wasn’t, but that’s okay, because I met my wife after I returned to the states and now I have two children and a wonderful family.
