Cross-Racial Serial Predators / woc victims
What do you make of Criminal Minds's repeated assertions that the serial killer in question have to be in the same race as that of his(/her) victims, to the point of completely ignoring other possibilities, like in "Fear and Loathing"? I haven't seen all the episodes yet (is there one or more that featured a cross racial serial sex killer?)

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Especially since, damn, even though it SHOULDN'T, TV shows affect the way people think about things, and law enforcement are people too. I fucking LOVE how CM disprove and smack down assumptions about prostitutes and rape victims, and I would like to see that extended more towards women who aren't white.
...and um, speaking as one woman who isn't white and does not live a charmed sheltered life, there have been many situations where I have felt unsafe, and the people who targeted me were not all Chinese like me, in fact, I think I only remember being groped by someone who was Chinese ONCE - because I don't tend to hang around predominantly Chinese areas (supporting that it's not race (except when it is, familiarity/fetish), it's availability,).
It would suck if a certain somewhat douchey ex of mine (imma saying he has major anger issues, he badmouthed every single one of his ex, he was paranoid that an ex of his was watching him and pointed him out to me and to me it looked like the ex couldn't even shim him, he felt entitled to my time and body, he hold me to 'promises' that I never made and get scary angry when I don't), who happens to be white, were to be harmful to me but the police don't suspect HIM because hey he's not a member of the Chinese community!
