So these past few weeks there have been alot of talk about White people doing mass shootings on social media etc.
I work with quite a few people of other races and race is a common topic of discussion at work as well as race related issues.
Something I never really knew about the Ethnic view point came up in discussion last week that i was rather shocked by and that is:
It is a common held belief among the black/Hispanic community and many main stream white liberals that there doesn't exist serial killers/ mass shooters of any other race than White
Naturally I was pretty surprised to hear it and gave several instances to coworkers about crime being committed by other races and specifically about mass shootings statistics among the black community
when I began to engage people about these instances I'm looked at as a racist person by the white liberals and my black coworkers seemed dumbfounded.
So here is what I'm wondering:
Where does this idea come from that only Whites are mass murderers or serial killers is this a stereotype that the Main Stream media perpetuates or is it the media causing this idea to be believed?
Also have any of you been in similar conversations regarding this subject
