- notepad0x90 7mo agoBut then I'd be prejudiced. Stereotypes exist because they have a certain good degree of accuracy, but that doesn't make them right. For the sake of that one person in that group that didn't do anything wrong, I have to try and be fair to the whole group.
- tmp10423288442 7mo agoThis is where you use this stereotype to do a more detailed evaluation of the person to decide if they're safe/worth engaging with, or avoid them entirely if it's not worth it to you. You might bring in other stereotypes at this point and apply this process recursively until you have no more statistical regularities to use to guide your behavior.
- xigoi 7mo agoThe funny thing is that if they recommended guessing based on race, rather than gender and age, the comment would be downvoted to hell.
- b40d-48b2-979e 7mo agoFunny how? Are you suggesting some races are more violent? Not all immutable characteristics are made equal.

- notepad0x90 7mo agoCare to share a similar break-down by race, income, and wealth? From what i looked up, the average black income is $56k/yr but for white it is $92k/yr. 20% and 7.5% respectively for percent of the population that's under the poverty line. Also for the same crime stats 69% for white and 26% for black is what I'm seeing for 2024-2025, with 60% and 30% of the population respectively. so 13% more for black and 9% more for white, we're talking about a 4% difference when looking at overall crime. accounting for reporting issues and requirements is a different story. Just like your other comment, such a deceptive line of thinking you people like to push. The numbers you show are accurate, but the interpretations you interpolate are lies of omission, or at best willful ignorance to support a prejudice. Even for correlating with age I don't agree with this type of conclusion that lacks the lightest touch of critical thinking.
