Adding the connection between the two sets is as misleading as adding a line between discreet datapoints. If you want to really understand this, I suggest you repeat the visualization with a sankey diagram using absolute numbers.

I'm sure you're not trying to be misleading, but this is a very flawed way of showing this data, and you can see it has misled by the number of salivating anti-woke or dog whistle comments in this post.

A sankey would show this a lot better - this totally ignores differences in population, especially misleading with the connection between the total unrelated sets.

A lot of "gotcha, woke sheeple" comments here from people who haven't taken two minutes to think about what's really being shown here.
