There’s also actual data that black people commit an outsized percentage of violent crime in the US yet any statement like this with “black” substituted for “men” would be downvoted into oblivion. The common argument is that it’s really society’s mistreatment of black people which is to blame for the criminality. Why is that same argument not applied here?
- jsaflas 5y agoLet's concede your argument that Black men are more dangerous than white men (I don't think so, at least not due to genetic differences). At best the data shows a factor of 2 more violent. Men are more violent than women by 2 orders of magnitude. And, unlike your example, there is no doubt its physiological in nature We have testicles and therefore are frothing with testosterone. And it's not unique to humans; farmers castrate bulls to make them docile in an ox team.

Should Asians demand separate restrooms from Natives? > And, unlike your example, there is no doubt its physiological in nature No doubt all of it is physiological? Because... testosterone? While, if data points towards some race being more violent, then it’s a mere “I don’t think so”? I think such a big claim needs a better explanation.
