Being poor makes you rape. It's logic.

Being foreign makes you rape. It's logic.

How about: "we don't even know who the alleged rapists are, so maybe we shouldn't form an opinion on their skin color being different before we jump to conclusions"?


It also obviously excuses your behavior regardless of what you do.

Let's say you're a selfmade man with working class background parents, and you worked two jobs while going to school, and now operate and run your own business, making enough money to support your family and have a nice life.

Apparently, because someone comes from a different socioeconomic background, they're entitled to take whatever they want from you.

Wow, nice way to setup a really weak straw man! It's got the whole self-made man story there just for extra "relatable" points. Amazing job!

I didn't realize that now pointing something out is condoning it. Would you say that by pointing out demographics might be playing a factor, the original poster was condoning their behavior?
