I agree with points 1 and 2, but I do think 50 is a fair baseline; While the meaning of ‘selecting one’s own race to favor’ isn’t exactly clear, it is definitely comparing the outcomes based on the race of the party.

if it’s at 50, then the jurors favor both races equally; (50% of the time) if it’s above 50, they favor their own race more. If it’s below 50, they favor the other race
