Can science explain why the perceived size of minority groups is so much larger than their actual size?

Minorities are more common in cities in the West. Cities make the news more often and are more likely to have vocal activist groups. Inter-group conflict is also going to be much more common, again tying into visibility.

Where is there only 3% black population in the US? That sounds like a paradise!

Kek for /pol/tards that percentage is more like 50% given how utterly obsessed they are over them

why are leftists denying they are obsessed with trannies? that meme makes no sense. Shouldn't it be a caricature of a Chad rather than a leftist?

I assume British, based on the typefont. Barring that, Canada or some northern state with a strong "metropolitan" presence. Here is the US's misconceptions which are in some aspects even more extreme.

It's their version of "I know you are, but what am I?" It's a form of denial because they can't actually use logic or evidence to support their view.

There are actually around 9-11% gays and bisexuals, so it's wrong off the bat.

availability heuristic and overreporting. and of course reporting is biased on purpose to create a specific kind of distortion, i.e. not talking about black-on-black crime but instead focusing on cases of police brutality, because that's the social issue they want to loom large in people's mind and come up as first impression.
basically, you're looking at the results of a successful propaganda campaign here.
