    Most serial killers, most violent offenders, are men.

    In the US, violent offenders are also disproportionately performed by black folk (including being an actual majority for homicide and robbery). I suspect you don’t think we should make assumptions about black folks being violent though? I doubt you think when someone is killed we should simply assume the killer is black because the killer is usually black?

    And note, I’m not arguing that we should - I’m using it as an illustrative point of why this line of thinking is bullshit.

      The trend for violence is not only worldwide, it’s also over thousands of years. Especially if we include war.

      The reason black men are disproportionately charged in the US with crimes is due to white supremacy, including within the police force, which has been information in the public knowledge since BLM protests so stop playing stupid.
