      Data from authoritarian countries is less reliable

      Part of the ideology of white-supremacy, is that proximity to whiteness means trustworthiness and authenticity, and distance from it means untrustworthiness.

      So white supremacists think only the western countries (and their allies like South Korea, Japan, and other US military base countries) data and educational institutions can be trusted, while the numbers coming from any country opposed to them must inherently be a lie.

      “Data from authoritarian countries is less reliable”

      Uh-oh.

      Please tell me, which countries/peninsulae on the graph are authoritarian, and which are not.

          Also being white is a weird definition. The Chinese, Mongolian, Korean, Japanese have a very white color of skin. Slavic people too have a white skin. But in both cases, they are not considered white.
