The abuse is disproportionately targeted at people who aren't white men, and is is disproportionately performed by white men. This is nothing particularly new.

The abuse is disproportionately targeted at people who aren't white men, and is is disproportionately performed by white men. This is nothing particularly new. It's the history of America, which was founded by and for white men, and whose story can be told as white men slowly and reluctantly giving up their power. If "many (most) 'white men' do in fact care", history doesn't really demonstrate that. Not, at least, in terms of doing anything about it. This is not particularly shocking; people care more about problems they experience, and less about problems that happen to benefit them. We need only look at how the majority of white men supported a blatant racist and sexist for president. And who continue to support him despite (or because) that has only become more clear.
