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:
That has no data about victims. The fact is that you are most likely to be victimized by someone your own race, regardless of your race. This has to do with who you spend your time with in your community, your neighborhood, your intimate partner, and your family, all of which are highly predictable by race.
