At some point it doesn't matter whether or not the statistic applies to the individual because the risk/reward ratio is skewed to the point od unsustainability.
"Stereotypes" have a much higher predictive value than theories produced by Social scientists, yet only the latter are agressively used by governments and institutions as rationale to exert control over people's lives.
Stereotypes are among the most reproducible of all social phenomena, yes, but it’s not a 1.0 coefficient. Some stereotypes are really media/academic creations that are better understood as blood libel against certain targets groups. The one that immediately springs to mind is the “southern incest” trope that northerners love to throw at rural southern Americans. In reality, no one can touch the incest rates of pakastanis and other middle eastern populations, but it is politically incorrect to discuss it - let alone mock it. So Alabama and company get saddled with the “brother-fucker lol” meme while a Somalian in congress was literally married to her brother.
Portrayal of the south as backwards was used as justification for the North invading and subjugating it and carpetbaggers later economically exploiting it. I would compare it less to "blood libel" propaganda and more to the way Afghanistan was portrayed as a terrorist-producing anti-woman Islamic State backwater. GAE gonna do what GAE do: the propaganda precedes the bloody profiteering.
And this is exactly the attitude you're seeing here directed at Florida: DC-centric shills, or whatever kind of New England degenerates they are, are reducing Floridians to bumpkins that beat up "trans kids" for sport.
Well every stereotype has some element of truth. All black boys aren’t criminals but as you correctly point out the stats show quite a few are.

I get that. Sucks for me but I can understand the risk/reward mindset.

Good point. Never thought about it that way.

Absolutely, and it is laughable to see some people get offended that stereotypes exist. I break quite a few but conform to some. It is what it is.
Of course you can't point out factual things about non-whites.
