I took a long walk in slutty clothes, 98% ppl on the street were white or asian - but all 4 ppl who catcalled me were black. Why is this?

Is this supposed to prove something or say anything about the way the world is?

No? I want to know why. I'd love to do a survey but I'm not sure the population sample would be right.

I feel like this is such an isolated incident that the "why" could easily be that there were a few cat calling people who were also black?

this has happened my whole life. Black people catcall. I am curious about the culture behind this, I don't feel catcalling is bad.

I do think catcalling is bad. I also feel like if there is some kind of proof that this is a thing, we can talk about why that is.

I don't think it's auto bad. I'm curious about why some cultures catcall. I once read women in some cultures view it as positive.

I'm sure some do, and that's fine... But can you see why that statement might have been really offensive?

I don't think offense should get in the way of asking questions. I don't feel any judgment about cultural differences, I'm just curious.

It isn't getting in the way of that. Like I said, unless you have some kind of evidence to support this stereotype, there is no question

If I were on the street with 98% women, and the only 4 people who approached me were men, you wouldn't be asking me for evidence.
Replying to
Or a number of other factors that could suggest that so many other things could be going on

It's possible that I'm really attractive to black people, yeah! That was one of the explanations I was considering

What I'm saying is that evidence like that is not enough to prove or even demonstrate any kind of correlation.

My whole life, almost exclusively black men have catcalled me. I don't think this is chance. Maybe, like I said, I'm just hot to them.

And even if it happened your ENTIRE LIFE with only black people ever, it could be because of what YOU look like
