>Taking a walk alone down a dark alley in a city at night where a rough looking person in a hoody is approaching you from the opposite direction with their hands in their pockets and happens to be a member of the race that is responsible for 90% of the homicides in that city may be enough to change your mind about stereotypes in the modern world...
Well. That's one of the more overtly bigoted comments I've seen here in a while.
It wouldn't change my mind. The assumption one would assume you would expect to be drawn from "the race that is responsible for 90% of the homicides in that city" to "all else being equal, members of that race are likely to be homicidal," is not at all reasonable, or even mathematically justifiable. Anyone approaching you in a dark alley at night could be a threat, and still, on average, most likely isn't, regardless of race.
If this is the best you can do to justify stereotyping as reasonable then I stand by my comment.
