The problem with this particular video is that it specifically implies white men are more likely to be sexist or to not understand consent than men of other ethnicities/races, something for which I think there's little to no evidence.

I don't think i've ever seen studies that do a breakdown re: race and sexual assault, but it seems intuitive that you're more likely to cross lines if you don't think you'll face repercussions?

If that were the case, it's a little hard to understand why, for instance, domestic violence rates decline with income, with people in the richest quartile (who, in your model, are presumably less likely to face repercussions) having significantly lower rates than everyone else.

Can you explain to me again why we should be upset that a mother who has fears about what her son might become has decided to love him enough to teach him in a way to increase the chances he'd become a well-rounded good person?

We shouldn't be upset about that part. We should be upset about the fact that she is spreading pejorative racial stereotypes. The deciding to love and teach him part is fine.

I mean, it's a baby. Everything will be fine. But also, I would argue that if, as a white woman, she just said "men" without the race qualifier, one could infer that she lacks understanding of how sexuality is weaponized (in different ways) against Black and Asian men.

You're describing the ideology people are reacting against--one that moves from the true statement *Black and Asian men have faced discrimination* to the perverse nonsequitir *it's fine to spread pejorative racial stereotypes about white male babies.*

When people say *this ideology is causing you to treat white kids badly* that's illustrative of what they mean and you're seeing the backlash to it everywhere
