The point you were trying to make:





is to invalidate the polls because of the people gathered to protest. A protest may "speak louder," but their opinions don't carry more weight than the opinions provided in the polls.

Nice cherry picked picture of 3 people though.

I have no idea what the first half of your post is trying to say.

Regarding the second half however, pretty basic stuff. The polls are meaningless because they weren't polling Native Americans. The polls literally have zero value. The protests, while not an accurate representation of the population, actually involve Native Americans in the majority. That's a much more reliable poll to me.

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position.
Sorry, taking one of two or three pictures showing white people protesting the name while ignoring the hundreds of pictures showing Native Americans protesting the name is cherry picking. Learn the phrase before you use it.
