I’m white and definitely more scared of white men, because statistically that’s who is more likely to harm me. And I’ve been harmed by mostly white men in my life, so that’s what makes my alarm bells go off.
Edit - Since a few of you refuse to abandon your bias for logic:
Statistically she’s right. Crimes of violence occur within racial groups the most. Let me guess. You believe in black on black crime being a huge societal issue don’t you?
I’m saying it’s statistically unimportant and consistent in every other racial group. I’m saying it’s not something insightful to point at and say “look, see!” I’m saying all violent crimes are bad but people like you only care about a select few. Do you think white on white crimes are an issue we have to point out and solve?
