The problem is when that particular community is targeted while teen pregnancy, crime, and low graduation rates in the general population are ignored. It reminds me of that new LMN movie about the teen pregnancy pact among the white girls. That movie would look completely different if it was Black or Hispanic. People would not be shocked. There were teen pregnancy pacts at my Black high school in the late 80s and early 90s.
Whites are still the population and power majority in this country. Blacks have disproportionately high rates of particular social problems including crime and poverty. That's not to be confused with media inaccuracies like "Blacks commit most crimes" and "Blacks receive most of the social welfare."
If people want to talk about statistics and ACCURATE interpretations of statistics in their proper context, fine. If they want to offend, fuck off.
