As a general rule, I assume that racism is probably not a motivation for most things. Not that it *can't* be, only that it's culturally inflated to the point where I automatically adjust downwards. There's *lots* of other often-worse motivations for things that aren't racism.

Scott Siskind's recent post about trapped prior resonates here. If you have a strong prior that X is pervasive, bad, and underrated, you are more likely to overattribute X relative to the evidence for it for cognitive *and moral" reasons. Erring on "it's X and X is bad" is good.

The “sex killer”? I think guys that are losers tend to do stupid stuff and then rationalize it with I hate this race. I hate women. Etc But in reality they just hate that they are losers and kill people for attention

You're saying many true and important things. They don't change the fact that you came in with a hot take about a situation you know nothing about, while the victim's bodies were still warm, and are now trying to enlightened-rationalist your way back out. Admit you fucked up.

Yeah and all those words above add up to a whole lot of nothing, from someone who isn’t and shouldn’t be an authority on race
