Did you know that you are more likely to be a pedofile or a serial
killer if you are a white man than if you are, say, a black woman?
Also, there was a time when the percentage of black pedofiles in the
US was statistically zero! Meanwhile two cases of sexual abuse of a
minor were committed by a single Moscow church! Do you know which one?
