There is one African country and nothing from the middle east.

The most populous African country by a significant margin and Turkey is often counted as middle east.

Right, but microscopic European populations are still included because they support the thesis.

Wow your argument sure keeps changing in every response. I think there is a phrase for that...

Not understanding stuff, maybe there's a term for that.

So? You are reading things into the data and effectively turning it into a strawman. It isn't presenting an argument, it is presenting data. You are being oversensitive and inferring an argument, and then criticizing that argument, but it doesn't even exist.

Presenting data is an argument. Because you decide what data to present and how. If you leave out data that doesn't support a statement you made based on data you present, then there is an issue.
