i think this is two different issues. you can acknowledge that a problem exists, relating to bias or prejudice. and you can also acknowledge blame does often fall to those not connected to that problem, based on common traits.

Does it really though? I have no doubt people take it that way, because we're wired to believe everything is about us.

Maybe always being the minority in my own experience makes me see things differently. Looking at people as good or bad instead of black and white has always served me

And that's fine. Just don't look and point at guys like me when you're spitting the bullshit because we had nothing to do with it.

does majority status negate any possibility that that same kind of thing could be directed your way, as an individual placed into that majority statistically?

You misconstrue. I mean shooting of Mexicans and black peoples BY white people. Because they wrongly blame them for perceived issues since their lives must be miserable because of minorities.

Whites shot by minoroties is a much smaller issue and has myriad reasons which don’t seem as obvious in terms of a root cause.

Are you asking if I think it's possible? Sure, it's possible. Haven't seen it.

Must be some articles/videos online that confirm this phenomenon, right?
