sure, not all men, but a lot of men, and we have no way of knowing which ones
“sure, not all black people, but a lot of black people, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”
This is exactly how you sound.
“sure, not all muslims, but a lot of muslims, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”
lettuce consult the fbi data:
Of the 1,864 women murdered in 2010, 91% were killed by men. (by contrast, of the 3,872 men murdered, only 9% were killed by women). Of all the women murdered (by either sex), over a third were killed by a husband or boyfriend. women have legitimate reason to fear men, even the ones they know.
Of the 3,327 white people murdered in 2010, only 13% were killed by black people. 3% were killed by other or unknown races. white people do not have a statistically legitimate reason to fear other races.
women’s fear of men is based in reality, not bigotry. white people’s fear of other races is based in bigotry, not reality.

See, if you wanted a proper comparison, you’d have to say: “sure, not all white people, but a lot of white people, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”
Because most white people aren’t openly racist, even when speaking only to other white people, where it might be “safe”. Unless they’re old or have full-on drank the conservative kool-aid, then all bets are off. Source: I live in a blue city in one of the most red states in the country. We get all sorts here, and any kind of inclusiveness gets huge amounts of pushback, but it’s all couched in polite language or concerns about “safety”.
