Not your fault—it was kinda incoherent indeed. There is a reason bible prohibits posting on social media while drunk.
What I was trying to say is that “white man villain” or white angry man or white man terrorism etc have made into our vocabulary trying to make our existing prejudices more inclusive—fashioned after notions like “angry black man” or “Muslim terrorist”. etc.
But they do more harm than the inclusion or fairness they are trying to promote because color of a skin or race are not indicative of someone’s violent behavior—it’s the culture, education, economic conditions among many other social factors that are more correlated.
So instead of dropping terminology like angry black man we adopted angry white man—which further muddies the waters because in a majority white country white violence doesn’t tell whole a lot. Our categories need to be better and reflective of reality.
