I mean black people who have have been incarcerated for any reason, violent or non-violent, account for about 1% of the Black population, so I don't think it's a lack of black people that leaves South Korea's safe?

I'm a black immigrant and seeing commentary like this feels a lot like that comic of a man shoving a stick in his bike wheel and yelling out someone else's name...

But I also don't get how your original comment followed the racist comment section: White men commit a wildly disproportionate fraction of child sexual abuse in America, yet not every conversation about white men devolves into them being called names

I think it speaks more to the people making the comments.

Along the lines of how ChatGPT ends up being "racist against non-minorities": if you ask a comment section "What can whites do better", you'll get softballs like "be more mindful of privilege". Ask a comment section what black people can do better and you'll get something cancerous...

It's impolitic to mention, but black Americans commit most murders in the US despite their small share of the population. Black American women are more likely to commit murder than white American men, a sex reversal unique between large racial groups in the developed world. An average black man in the US is an order of magnitude more likely to commit violent crime than a non-black man. This effect is not fully explained by socioeconomic differences.

The overwhelming majority of black Americans are not criminals. It's important not to draw the wrong conclusions here. But the small percentage of black Americans who are criminals make up a proportionally much greater share of the whole. The reasons for this are complex and controversial, but it's some opaque combination of history + discrimination + nature + nurture.

I like how you came back to drop this nugget days later

> The overwhelming majority of black Americans are not criminals. It's important not to draw the wrong conclusions here.

So what conclusion are you trying to draw from 1% of a population?

White males commit an absurd percentage of pedophilia comparable to their slice of the population, how can we start drawing conclusions on that?
