The statistics I presented were correct as stated. You can present your statistics anyway you like.

No they're not!
Your numbers are false and misleading because they assume that wives, children and other household members of slave-owners are not part of the same family, or somehow don't enjoy the benefits of slave-owning wealth.

It's utterly misleading to say, as you do, that only 3.2% of Virginians owned slaves, when fully 25% of Virginians lived in slave-owning homes.
