Even if you are a "normal white male", your wife and children aren't.

It can be fairly trivial to find out family details of a target and harass the wife/children.

Maybe you don't have strong opinions that would inflame someone to the level where they would interfere with your life like that.

But it's ignorant not to have enough empathy to think that does happen in a world where a woman can be stalked/assaulted after someone sees her out jogging.

My 21 year old straight cousin was gay bashed for walking home from a bar with his equal straight friend.

I've been racially profiled even though I'm white because I have a Fred Armistan-like hodge-podge of vaguely ethnic features.

People are dicks.
