In an order issued today, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria said that the hand-written notes of prosecutors from a 31-year-old murder case “constitute strong evidence that, in prior decades, prosecutors from the [Alameda County District Attorney’s] office were engaged in a pattern of serious misconduct, automatically excluding Jewish and African American jurors in death penalty cases.”
Which still doesn’t change the fact that there is a gender bias in jury selection. Bias in jury selection is always bad. Racial bias is bad, religious bias is bad, gender bias is bad. The whole point is to not have a jury of just white men. I’m not sure why that doesn’t include women to you just because they might be white.
Or are you saying white people shouldn’t be on juries at all?
No one is arguing gender bias isn’t a problem but seeing this article is mainly about racial/ethnic bias you deciding to lay the blame at the feet of only white men makes no sense considering white women are also part of the problem.
The point is to not have a jury of only WHITE PPL because statistically a jury made up of only white men and women are just as biased as a group of only white men.
Please quote me when I laid blame at the feet of only white men.
Again, no one is arguing in favor of that. Not me, not anyone else.
This isn’t solely blaming white men?
You literally distanced everyone who isn’t a white straight male from the problem presented in the article including white women even though they are a major part of the problem. While this makes sense for black Latino, Asian and lgbtq groups including white women in that list is on some bullshit
Blaming them for… not noticing something? Yes. Guilty.
White women do it too…
And ignorance of injustice leads to more injustice
Okay, I get it. White women are the worst people in the world and should be barred from being on juries.
It almost like you can fight the injustices your gender faces while recognizing the privilege that comes with your race.
But I guess pretending white women do no wrong is easier for you. Also it doesn’t help you’re using a talking point white “all lives matter” men use.
I was talking about race this entire time. Literally over and over again.
I also don’t remember pretending that white women can do no wrong.
When did I pretend such a thing?
That wouldn’t be a lie, would it?
