Statistics are very precarious things to interpret, and, as cherry blossom points out, they can be biased or attributed to confounding factors. For example, I can accurately say that there were 3 poor white people for every 1 poor black person in the US in 2009. yet, I can also accurately say that around 11 percent of white people were poor and about 23 percent of black people were poor. Both are accurate statistics, but you must take care to interpret them correctly. Also, most of the time not enough information is given to correctly interpret statistics.
