Reply to comment by JPAnalyst in [OC] I asked Georgians (U.S.) if they learned in school about the 1912 racial cleansing in Forsyth County (GA), only 11% of respondents were taught this. by JPAnalyst
Do students in Oregon get taught that their state was founded with the law that Black people were banned from moving to the state?
The reality is that things like expulsions of Black people and sundown towns were indeed so common that it’s probably better for every US student to learn generally how thorough and widespread the discrimination was, rather than just single incidents.

Reply to comment by Stratedge in [OC] North American cities by number of major sports championships (Updated December 2022) by twintig5
I think this dataset is better just removing the MLS. In grouping the North American major sports leagues the “Big Four” of the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL are much more commonly used.
And if you use those you get the funny effect of Los Angeles having fewer championships than Montreal, who is running on hockey alone.

Reply to comment by I_am_Godfather1 in [OC] There are more self-described vegans than vegetarians among US users of Twitter by jasonjonesresearch
Not exclusively. My wife is vegetarian for moral reasons and likes cheese (among other things), so she has little interest in becoming vegan.

The listing isn’t dependent on the men’s order, the events are just ordered in a seemingly logical sequence. Otherwise the hurdle sprint would be at the bottom instead of the middle.
