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.

Except I just showed you numbers that say African American males commit more murders than white males, despite there being roughly 6.5x more white males. So how can white males be the most dangerous?

Also males ARE treated differently than women when it comes to potential crime.

Not to mention, how many daycare people are male? How many kindergarten teachers are male? How many babysitters are male? People are inherently less trusting of males around their children. That's why single women near a playground isn't weird. A single male near a playground is treated as suspicious.

When a couple gets divorced, who usually gets the children?

When police respond to a domestic dispute, who usually gets arrested/asked to leave?

When you see Drinking and Driving commercials in Ohio, have you ever seen a drunk driver who ISN'T a white male?

In Japan, they have certain trains that men aren't allowed to ride.


There exists plenty of biased against males tendency to be more crime breaking, the only difference is, they don't complain that it's racism or sexism every time it happens. Generally no huge stink about it is made because statistically, there's some basis in their bias.
