Notice how they started this shit after they confiscated the guns.

Notice too how the murder rate in Australia in 2020 was about 1.6 per 100,000 people.
And that the murder rate in the USA in 2020 was about 6.5 per 100,000 people.
So it's not all downside if you like not getting murdered.

Thats because they have less niggers. Low nigger population zones in the USA with guns have the same low murder rates. It's the niggers, not the guns.

There's a few things you should do in order to make this into a reasonable argument.
1) Get the grammar right. Blacks are countable, so it's fewer not less. People will wonder if you are simply afraid of a black who can spell "job" taking your job, rather than you having a sound argument. 2) Avoid the racial slur. People will assume that you're suffering from racism, rather than having a sound argument. 3) Provide your evidence. Provide your reasoning. Your point isn't obvious. For instance, This table shows that slightly less than half (Single victim, single offender, federal) homicides are perpetrated by blacks. If that extrapolates to all homicides, the rate for other races is still somewhere around 3.9 per 100,000, which is still 2.4 times the "low" murder rates in Australia.

Thanks, you've sparked my racist curiosities. You seem good with numbers. What is the murder rate among american whites per 100,000?

White murdering white?
Or white murdering anyone?

White murdering anyone please.

If you're not happy with the extrapolations I made in the GGGP post, you'll have to point me to a more complete data set yourself.
But I get about 3.9 per 100,000. The assumptions being that the proportions of all murders by race are about the same as those in the linked table.
But I said that already.

Are you claiming the white homicide rate is 3.9 per 100,000? That was my question.

I'm claiming that that's what I get extrapolating the racial breakdown from FBI one on one murders to the national homicide rate for 2020.

The fewer vs less thing is a myth.
Both have been used interchangeable in English for a thousand years or more.
It was only the middle class Victorians who tries to make English fit with Latin who came up with a different jargon usage.

You're also using "myth" with a unique meaning here.
Not exactly. But also irrelevant.
They were never interchangeable, but prior to a couple of centuries ago, you could use less for fewer. You couldn't use fewer for less.
But this is irrelevant. We don't speak the English of 1000 years ago. Prior to 1066 is Old English. When a modern reader reads old English:
Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
They don't think "ooh, look how they used 'fewer'". They think "what language is that?"
Yes. The rules of English are often decided upon. Nonetheless they are.

I'll bet you were an unpopular tattle tale in school, Karen.
