Fact #1: Only 58 lawsuits (out of 5,300+) indicated the Plaintiff’s skin color.
• Roughly half of them indicated a dark complexion (55%), while the rest indicated either:
light; or medium.
• The shape of the outcome distributions is quite different between the groups.
Takeaway #1: The population size for this data is too small for these statistics to be reliable (flip left or right on the graph [above]).
Additional: These numbers can be further analyzed by:
