In reply to Almost 17,000 Protesters Had No Idea A Tech Company Was Tracing Their Location and Demographics

This so misleading.

I am seriously disappointed by Noah Smith. There is simply not enough information in the links provided to back his claim that "the protesters were disproportionately white", certainly not when that directly contradicts the tech company's own conclusion as quoted by Buzzfeed in the linked article: "African American males made up the majority of protesters in the four observed cities vs. females,” Mobilewalla claimed. “Men vs. women in Atlanta (61% vs. 39%), in Los Angeles (65% vs. 35%), in Minneapolis (54% vs. 46%) and in New York (59% vs. 41%)."

What the pie charts appear to represent are simply the demographics of the people Mobilewalla tracked. No way to know for sure since there is no clearly identified control set of demographics provided. Nor is there any explanation that I could find of how Mobilewalla extrapolated its conclusions.
