that's not a social construct
Yes I know there are outliers but as I said the average is what is important.
Alright, If you want to get all Wikipedia on me 😉 But really, Race (White, Black, Yellow, etc) was developed by an anthropologist
context is whats important
not the average
American blacks for example commit over 50% of violent crimes so should I treat them the same as a white or Asian person?
lol
yes, you should TREAT them the same initially,
That said, due to statistics, you are absolutely in your right to be a bit skeptical about them
and are open to change your treatment based on experience
There are distinct physiclogical and medical differences between many, many ethnic groups. Sub-saharan africans are more likely to develop sickle-cell disease, for example.
but this does prove the point though,
racism isn't natural, you judge them based on experience and evidence, not instinct
Which was a mutation which allowed them to survive malaria
Fuck no would you treat someone who is more likely to be criminal with someone who is less likely to be criminal?
Racism is entirely natural, it's an in/out group mechanic. But just because something is 'natural' doesn't mean it's good.
Depends on the point of view and situation mostly
If yuo don't know they're a criminal, how could you tell?
just like the Inuit have developed genes which allow them to survive on 100% meat and fat diet.
for all you know, we have rapists in this very channel, but you don't know, so you treat them as innocent until proven guilty
I mean, cinnabar is an entirely natural mineral. As is asbestos.
I know from the statistics we know blacks commit over 50% of violent crime so why should they be treated the same?
Thats just "in the eyes of the government" windwalkr 😉
True
Treated the same in what way?
as human beigns
Yes I know their humans
because the rest of them don't do the crime,
And until you know, you can't make the call to treat them any less
I mean as at risk crimals.
might be a good watch
If your talking about policing for example, it would be very dumb to split your police force 50-50 between two sections of the county if one has more crime than the other
yes like i said, you are in your right to be more skeptical and keep a closer eye on them,
You do not however have the right to consider them guilty criminals simply because the statistics say they're more likely to
Their 15% of the population but commit over 50% of the violent crime that sounds like most of them do commit violent crime.
How would you treat them differently knowing this information?
I said at rist crimals meaning they are more likely to commit crime which is true.
yes, and i'm not arguing that, in fact i'm saying you would be very wise to take precautions
@Blackhawk342 I wouldn't want to be around them.
Thats fine, its your perrogative to remove yourself from places where they are or go to places that dont have them
exactly
AussieAryan, The reason why more blacks commit more crimes is because a disproportionate number of blacks live in poverty. If you account for percentage of poverty the amount of criminals is even across black, white, and Hispanic populations. Thus the problem is poverty not ethnicity.
