So you think that's a toxic attitude, but cater to it anyway? It's like saying "I mention she's whites because racists might not care otherwise".

Which is a very effective technique.

That's not really an equivalent statement. In general, women do face more harassment and unwanted touching, which often doesn't translate to the "white" example you give.
Because non-white people don't face more harassment from leos?
I'm saying exactly the opposite. Your example statement being equivalent to the one I gave would imply that white people face more harassment, which isn't the case.
But that isn't relevant to the point being made. Say "I mention they are black to pander to black supremists" if you wish.
