There’s plenty of people on both sides of the wage gap. Those crime surveys may be flawed in the same way campus sexual assaults had a very generous definition of sexual assault. I’m not sure in this case. I was just throwing out a possible reason for resisting crime statistics. Plenty of people disagree about how those are collected.
Yes of course, a lot of people aren’t killed for collecting stamps. But I don’t think many people today are killed specifically for being black or gay either. It does happen, yes. But I believe the overwhelming majority of people just carry on with life. We should all remember that whites vs. colored fountains were deemed lawful by the government.
I truly believe most people today just want to go to work, do their job, and get paid regardless of the gender or color of the people around them. And honestly, what more would you expect? We live in the country with the greatest amount of diversity you can’t escape. Americans think Americans are the least tolerant and my travels to other countries and interactions with different people shows me the exact opposite.
Edit: I say this as someone who grew up in the South. I lived around racists but most of that stays in their head.
