The Fallacy of White Privilege

So that means you agree that the most likely person to commit a crime would be an African American male, which is exactly what the "experiment" used.

You can make this a racist thing/white privilege thing all you want, but that statistics blatantly show the truth. It would be great if everyone could be treated equally, but in order for that to happen, they need to act equally. That's currently not happening.

You say men account for 89% of all murder arrests, but that number is 48.2% for white people, and 49.2% for African American people. Despite white people making up 69.1% of the population (so well under-representated in murder) and African American people making up 12.1% of the population.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, your numbers about men are being skewed by African American men.

If 89% of all murder arrests are men, that is 7,570 murders going off of those 2012 FBI numbers. If the murder rates hold the same for just men as they do for both genders of an ethnicity and you do an admittedly winged 50% male/female population split, that means..

~3,649 murder arrests out of 34.55% of the population that's white males
and
~3,724 murder arrests out of 6.05% of the population that's African American males

Side note, way to completely ignore a full third of my post about Asian Americans because it doesn't fit your love of calling people racists.

You still don't get it.

Treating innocent people like they are criminals just because of the color of their skin is racism and it creates a big privilege for white people.

And white men, despite being in the most dangerous violent demographic, will not be discriminated against because they are white.  And the difference in crime rate between the sexes is not influenced by race.  It is about the same difference between the sexes for both whites and blacks.  Men are many times more likely to be violent criminals thsan women, yet white men are never discriminated against because of this.  And that is because they are in the majority.

Why shouldn't everyone treat you like a violent criminal since men are so much more likely to be a violent criminal based on your demographic?  You should never get a ride in a taxi.
