Look at it this way.

If there are 100 locals and 10 of them start a problem, then 10% of the locals have created a problem.

If there are 1000 nationals and 100 of them start a problem, then 10% of the nationals have created a problem.

The number is the same.
You're missing the point shultzz is trying to make here (which is actually valid) . . . Let's say:

10% of locals create problems, resulting in 10 problems (your math here). 10% of nationals create problems, resulting in 100 problems.

By your own math, there's TEN TIMES more problems for the national houses - and what shultzz is saying is that if 90% of all problems are created by nationals, maybe the blame for negative image should rest primarily on those creating the largest NUMBER (not percentage) of problems. Regardless of if these are proportional or not, the inferrence is that the majority of the blame for negative image can be tagged to the people making the majority of mistakes.

What shultzz is saying, I think, that blaming locals for making greeks look bad is sort of like blaming green M&Ms for making candy look bad - I think that's seeing another side of the story, rather than missing the whole story, dzrose.
