Everyone knows that breed of dog has a strong relationship to its predilection to bite. We also know it's not absolute. And it in no way implies we should treat any breed of dog badly or hatefully. But it does matter when deciding what breed of dog you want in your home or around vulnerable children. Yet when you apply this analogy to humans everyone freaks out. It's understandable that there is much fear around distortions towards violence. I get that. But there is also a neutral truth to it. You may ignore it at your own peril, just as you may ignore any fact: such that some mushrooms are poisonous or that some foods are less healthful than others.
