Of course you have to go a layer deeper, but no one here is writing a thesis Thing is, you don't have to go THAT much deeper at all if you're trying to ferret out evidence of institutional racism, anecdotal counter-examples like Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson etc. aside.
As for your question about how whether or not the criminal justice system is biased against men? Well, yes, it does seem to be. Do you need me to dig up studies showing institutional disparities in criminal sentencing for minorities, or disparities in hiring equally qualified candidates? I mean, you know I can, but do you really not believe it?
Sure, no one is writing a thesis, but that does not excuse them from ignoring basic scientific norms on research, listing a whole bunch of stats and jumping to causation. Like I said, this is the mentality that created the anti-vaxxer movement.
Additionally, whenever I dig deeper into this I find two different kinds of opinions.
Those on the left who insist that it is all about racism, or simply dont want to have the difficult conversation, or those whom list racism as one of many causes but with the primary causes being mainly cultural issues, such as a significant increase in the rate of single parent households (which have been shown, across all cultures, as being detrimental to the social development of a child), amongst other things of course.
So, if we really want to have this conversation and discuss racism as it pertains to certain societal issues, then you better be fine with talking about cultural issues as well that can both be a net positive for a group (like with Asian-Americans) or a net negative with others.
I'm all for honest dialect, but that has to go both ways, and the left today wants nothing of it. Buttigieg was crucified, by the left, yesterday for saying that minority children in poor neighborhoods often don't see the value in education since they have no positive role models to look up to, which is true. Any teacher will tell you this.
I just cant see why anyone would actually contest this and call him a lying motherf#@&er for it. Really, I never thought I would be defending Buttigieg from the left.
