Racism and sexism

SupernovaK said:

There is a genetic difference between men and women found in the X chromosome. The X chromosome boosts production of testosterone, a steroid chemical that drives one to be more violent. It's not "sexist" to say that such a difference exists, because it's not a stereotype -- it's true by definition of man and woman and thus true of every single member of those groups.

When you believe something is true of a group that isn't necessarily true (because it isn't true by definition), that is racism, sexism, etc. depending on what groups you speak of. Your beliefs about blacks having a certain "culture", for example, is racist because it's not only not true of every member, but isn't even true about the majority of them.

In your previous post, you claimed that blacks "lacked work ethic", and when I clarified how that excludes them from being lovers of money, so you changed that to "prefer[ing] to steal and scam people instead of working hard". I claimed that blacks were disproportionately poor in an earlier post, and that's something that I can prove by citing the nonpartisan US Government Census Bureau. https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/visualizations/2017/demo/p60-259/figure1.pdf Where does your belief come from?

Funny that you mention the love of money later in this post, because when it comes to embezzlement, larceny, and fraud, men and women are nearly equal. Furthermore, while crime rates overall have gone down a bit (for the time period I was able to find that for, 2002-2012), crimes committed by women actually increased; that increase just wasn't near as high as how much crimes committed by men lowered.

Maybe it's not just a matter of strength and energy, but also stress and social expectations? Stress related diseases have been on the rise in women lately.

-_- you are ignoring a lot of nuance that needs to be addressed in situations involving theft. Sure, some thieves are immoral people, but what of the child that pick pockets so they can eat that day? What of a person flooded by college loan debt that sees no other way out? People rarely steal out of greed or envy alone.

I have been in and seen some of the poorest slums in africa where kids have no shoes and a small piece of bread once a day
Amazingly these slums do have some crime but not like you would think....
Also many of these slums have very little police presence..

So back to my opinion of disrespect toward authority....
I have been a school teacher in inner city schools as a reference of experience....
