Watch nearly any episode of the TV show, "What would you do". There are often examples of people giving some* the benefit of the doubt when they are in fact stealing, etc, while others are reported immediately to the police.
In the context of this show:
* "some" are always white and/or female
"others" are some white males, and all non-white males.
This "benefit of the doubt" is a privilege.
- powertower 11y ago> This "benefit of the doubt" is a privilege. I've never watched the show, but when one group of people is disproportionately represented in crime statistics, in some cases by a factor of 30x, then it's just common sense rather than benefit-of-the-doubt.
