Fact: immigrants are statistically less likely to commit crimes than people born in the country. Naturalized immigrant descendants are just as likely to commit crimes as their non-immigrant descendant counterparts.
That last one implies that (assuming the definition of "American" is consistent and means a US citizen) the number of non-Americans in California is the same as the number of Americans outside of California. Given C = AmericanCalifornians, N = NonAmericans, and A = Total Americans, the equation would be A = 6C = N. Correct me if I am wrong... it is 1 am...
No, they're not the same. Non-Americans in California would be 6/7 of 1/7 of the total population. Americans outside of California is just 6/7 of the population.
@@darylfoster7944 While what you are saying would result in numbers closer to the IRL numbers (though still very incorrect), I don't see where you got the idea of the "Total Population" from.

He states that 1/7 of all Americans are Californian, and that 1/7 Californians is an American. That 1/7 of Americans is that 1/7 of Californians, not all of Californians. Does that make sense?

…or only have the people who believe in full time marriage get married, while everyone else who doesn’t want a full commitment should be in a relationship but unmarried. Trying to police sexuality is a lousy suggestion.
A crackdown on sexuality? Straight people are the ones hiking the divorce rate up so high, so are you wanting a crackdown on straight people? What does sexuality have to do with divorce anyway?
Always celebrate your birthday, because, statistically speaking, people who celebrate more birthdays live longer.
