most men who catcall may be black around your zone but in my country where black people are a really really tiny minority there's still catcalling (what i want to say, race is not the gist of this)

I live in SF, where it's 5.2% black, but I think nearly every single time I've been catcalled here has been by a black person.

Welp, that’s verifiable data then.

There's also the 10 hour catcalling video and the fact most catcalling is likely interracial, and black women report much higher rates of being catcalled

The 10 hour video was called out as racist by like...eleventy billion articles as racist. If you mean INTERracial then that means most WoC would be harassed by white men. If you meant intraracial then the unacknowledged variables like where catcalling occurs,

Sorry I did mean intra, phone autocorrected. And I don't think those articles were correct. I absolutely do not think the video makers edited white people out of their video. I think they caught an honest experience.

They also went to predominantly PoC neighborhoods - plenty of analysis happened around this video at the time. Multiple chapters of the org Hollaback! that pushed the video, including my own in Boston, left the organization or disbanded over this and other issues of racism.

Okay then. Well, we should definitely go with your anecdotes and what you think about editing.

So we're just ignoring the quote where the video creators apologized for doing exactly that?

see lmao this proves your inherent racism because they literally ADMITTED TO DOING JUST THAT but you need that sweet sweet confirmation bias

You can believe that all you want but you most certainly don't get to accept that it wasn't done with I'll intent as a fact, especially when history is against you.
