The other comment raised the interesting point that the gender gap is a stronger signal here than the race gap. Do you have a comment on that?



Seems irrelevant. Of course police see women as less threatening. Most police are men. Though I'm sure Black women are killed by police at higher rates than white women.

Seems like just trying to redirect the narrative. Kind of like when you bring up the studies where identical resumes were sent out half with white sounding names and half with Black sounding names and the white sounding names get way more callbacks.

The response is usually something like, that probably has more to do with class/wealth, not race. As if the two are not strongly linked.
