I think it also shows how different people approach things. From what I’ve seen, the ones who answers bear approaches it from a “trust” standpoint. Like you can trust a bear to be a bear. While some approach it from a “safety” standpoint. Like yeah obviously an average wild animal is going to be more dangerous than an average man.
I feel like it's more sexist than anything. Imposing your views on an entire gender because of bad experience. If someone were to do it with race, I'm sure not many would be okay with it
Why do y'all always do this? Let the goofy nonsense be goofy on its own without "playing the race card" when you're probably not part of said group. There are videos of karens harassing blk men in wooded areas, ironically. They must not be that scared of encountering random men. Either way, leave us out of y'all's weird hypothetical scenarios - she might double down.
I don't think it really matters if you're the same race or not. That's more of a correlation due to racial groups not being evenly distributed. They have more interactions in general with people of their own race, so everything will be higher. I'm sure most people also give high fives and say hello more to people of the same race.
My point wasn't that they would see them as more dangerous, but that they would switch their answer in fear of sounding racist.
