Gonna go ahead and venture a guess that you're not a black or Latino male ages 14-24. I think you'd be surprised by just how different experiences are.

- DrJokepu 10y agoPlease do not use the "you're a white male" line on me, because you know nothing about me.
- coldtea 10y agoFor one, your Twitter profile and other info is in your profile pic. Second, parent didn't say "you are X" but that they'd "venture a guess" based on the specific context of what had been said. So they don't need anything else (personal backstory etc) to make it -- just to apply what they know/believe is the general case for people making similar statements (positive view on the police behavior etc). Even if you specifically are not white, it doesn't mean what the parent said doesn't apply in the general case: that whites generally have smoother interactions with the police, so their appreciation of how policemen are is more positive.
