During covid, the right wing dipshit-o-sphere tried to scare Asian people into thinking black people were out to get them.

They'd link things like "San Francisco hate crimes against Asians up 500%!" and just counted on no one looking at the numbers, which in these cases were an increase of one per year to five (all committed by one crazy dude)

Anyways, the reactions to that number were my first real internalization of the concept that the majority of people are just too lazy to check sources, which is something I knew but couldn't quite believe until then.
