In reality we have no practical way to take the DOJ&#x27;s data table to find the number of black on white crimes?<p>Let me introduce you to data science. First I&#x27;ll read the numnbers in row 2 column 2 and row 2 column 5. Then I&#x27;ll plug them into ipython:<p><pre><code>    $ ipython
    ...
    In [4]: 4091971*0.137
    Out[4]: 560600.027
</code></pre>
Do the same for row 3 col 2 and row 3 col 4:<p><pre><code>    In [6]: 955800 * 0.104
    Out[6]: 99403.2
</code></pre>
Looks like the article was right after all.<p>Whew, that was hard. Took all the skills I learned in my math Ph.D. to finish the job. Just lucky I didn&#x27;t have to break out Hadoop. If I wasn&#x27;t a professional statistician I wouldn&#x27;t have had a prayer.
