Not to take away from your point but 0.01% of 164k is ~17.

Edit:

I didn't want to be a jerk so I decided to look it up. Looks like NYT[1] has the number at 0.6% (probably higher in reality since it's self reported) so that's about 1000 people a day.

Also stats offer little comfort when you're part of that group and it happens to you 100% of the time.

It’s probably lower in reality since it’s phone poll and minorities are probably more likely to participate in polls.

> minorities are probably more likely to participate in polls

on what basis do you believe that to be the case?
