@auramun@anarchism.space Not only does it make perfect sense, it is standard practice in the Data science world and the only way to pass peer review.

If you dont normalize for the population what point are you even making of any value.. white people will be the majority of cases in virtually **everything** you could analyze without normalizing.. for example if you dont normalize for population you can make all the following (incorrect/misleading) statements:

Almost all of the smartest people are white

Almost all nice people are white

Almost all people who wake up early are white

There is really no end to the sanity once you dont normalize.
