Well here's the kicker. It can be significant because the same "woke" Left uses them to prove that systematic racism is everywhere.

For example, using New York again, there was a huge problem when it to came to fare evasion for the public transit. 90% of all those caught evading fare were black. How did the Left respond? Rather than say it's their fault, they call for the complete abolishment of making it a crime. And this phenomenon can be observed in other states. When a statistic looks disproportionately black, the solution they believe, is to just make it all free.

That should be the solution period, no need to have to use race as an excuse

It costs money to operate public transit. Either that money comes out of increasing taxes, or the system goes bankrupt.
