Why should he have to? Are you implying that only non-minorities face microagressions?

Ignoring ethnicity doesn’t make discrimination go away. It just closes one’s eyes to the problem.Read the study I gave you, don’t ask me to do your work for you.
3. Were other factors considered? What was the sample size? Statistics can be easily manipulated.

The article doesn't provide a link to said study and said it hasn't gone through Peer review yet.

Not really - at the time a measurement of decisively over half a forearm or so would be rounded. You’re also missing inside and outside measurements, forgetting the rim.
Besides that, even not giving the generous assumption of inside and outside circumference, cubits were often rounded. 9.6 would be recorded as 10, while 30.1 would be recorded as 30. The ratio between those two numbers is about 3.14.

Unless I'm missing something, the rim would increase the disparity between pi and the calculated number, not increase it.
The circumference is not specified as being the inner or outer circumference, but since using the outer circumference would give us the "ideal" bowl (with no width or thickness), let's instead use the inner circumference, which also, reasonably, would have been the circumference of the mold used to form the inside of the bowl. That is, we will use the two measurements which were necessary for the casting of the piece. Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2002-2011 All Rights Reserved
Using eighteen inches for one cubit, we have the following:
outer diameter: 10 cubits, or 180 inches
outer radius: 5 cubits, or 90 inches
inner circumference: 30 cubits, or 540 inches
To find the "Jewish" or "Bible" value for pi, we need to have the inner radius. Once we have that value, we can plug it into the formula for the circumference and compare with the given circumference value of 540 inches.
Since the thickness of the bowl is given as one handsbreadth, then the inner radius must be:
90 – 4 = 86 inches
Let's do the calculations:
inner radius: 86 inches
inner circumference: 540 inches
The inner radius and the inner circumference.
The circumference formula is C = 2(pi)r, which gives us:
540 = 2(pi)(86)
540 = 172(pi)
Solving, we get pi = 540/172 = 135/43 = 3.1395348837..., or about 3.14.
Um... Isn't "3.14" the approximation we all use for pi? Perhaps those Phoenicians were fairly accurate after all.
Besides that, even not giving the generous assumption of inside and outside circumference, cubits were often rounded. 9.6 would be recorded as 10, while 30.1 would be recorded as 30. The ratio between those two numbers is about 3.14.
For something considered to be the holy and infallible word of God, there sure is a lot of rounding error.

No, that would be insane. Minorities experience them way more frequently.Chernoslavia wrote:

Examples on the first, you're incorrect on the second.Sovaal wrote:The individual is the smallest minority possible.
That's a deep quote. What's the point?
