re: A question about stereotyping and white supremacy

I appreciate the sea-lioning attempt here, but this should all be obvious. Whites comprise of 72% of the people in the United States, so it's virtually impossible to conclude that whites do not comprise of a majority of the racists in the United States. This means that the 50 shades of racism are far less a threat to whites than they are to non-whites.
Your average white person is fair game to 28% of the racists in the United States, and he blends in with 72% of the population.
Your average black person is fair game to 87% of the racists in the United States, and he blends in with just 13% of the population.
For the sake of discussion, let's assume that 1 in every 10,000 people commits an act of violence against a random person of another random race. Whites (72% of the population) can only be the victims of 28% of said acts (with a reasonable margin of error). Blacks (13%) are fair game to 87% of the attacks. Yadda yadda yadda...in this black and white (pardon the pun) vacuum, any given black person is more than 17 times more likely to be attacked than any given white person.
The idea that all other factors could possibly serve to mitigate such a disparity in likelihood is a hard sell, to say the least.

Still...in the name of science, definitions and research would be quite helpful. I prefer not to deal In conjecture.

Most live in neighborhoods, towns, cities where they are the majority.
The average black or white person is exposed to racism online, not in person.
