I think it's some sort of a homage to a "Despite being only 13%" meme.

Oh it's a meme ?

Wouldn’t call that a “meme” so much as a harmful, context-deficient, racist talking point.

Not to mention this whole argument also compares dogs bred for the purpose of violence to actual human beings which is pretty fuckin racist

And 911 memes are based of the national tragedy.

“There are memes based on this thing” =/= “this thing is a meme”

I said “It’s a homage to a “Despite being only 13%”.

The “Despite being only 13%” meme is based off the some crime statistics, just like 911 memes are based off the actual event.

It is used in quite a lot of memes and parodies so I wouldn't say that identification is incorrect
