It was a report into women MP's, the stats would have included Jewish and Muslim women MP's.
Public relations is not her strong point.

The population of interest is female but the hypothesis is presented as race. Religion, Jewish or Muslim isn't examined. This was something that was pulled at the time the Amnesty study was released as such a failure leads to bias in the findings.
Amnesty International criticised for not including antisemitism in landmark abuse report - The Jewish Chronicle
The study analysed millions of tweets but human rights campaigners claimed they lacked the data to explore Jew-hate

There was another study around that time that found that Jewish and Muslim women MPs face the most abuse. As I say, when factored in the findings shift.
Jewish and Muslim women MPs 'face most abuse'
Muslim and Jewish women MPs are getting support to help deal with social media threats and abuse.

It was probably a bit stupid to be rash but to accuse her of stoking racial divides with this is bonkers when it was a leap that she should not have made but it’s understandable why she did.
But yeah, let’s accuse Abbott of being the one to stoke racial divisions. It’s amazing how often she goes on to defend herself when she probably doesn’t need to but feels she should.
Because they have sod all else to say.
They worked to undermine Corbyn since the day and hour he became leader.
Mandelson made no bones about it.

It was an unbelievably stupid remark. Totally incorrect, and raising an issue of race when it wasn’t. She is supposed to be an MP. Defending her in this instance is as stupid as she is......

Imagine defending the indefensible hey Pete?
Im not defending her, I’m saying I’m not sure it’s as huge an issue as it’s made out to be and that it’s certainly not stoking racial divides.
And I’m pretty sure Diane Abbott has a fair amount more awareness of racial issues than you but you’re keen to have a go at her at any opportunity for some reason so, if it makes you happy, you keep at it.

I don't think anyone regards it as a "huge issue". It's just one more example of her verbal ineptitude, adding to an already fairly lengthy list.

Ian Dale suggested she was creating racial divides which isn't a small issue.
It's been brought up in three different thread by at least three different posters on this forum. I think people have an odd obsession with her
So three people have mentioned it. It's hardly a matter likely to replace Coronavirus in the headlines. Maybe they're not the ones obsessed with anybody?
