    Since when has being the member of a minority group made it easier for you to get away with committing a crime? Minorities have always been persecuted more severely and more often for crimes than the majority.

    Your comment is like saying that native-born people would pretend to be immigrants to get away with crimes. It doesn’t make any sense. How would that help them?

    Nobody is interested in defending people who are criminals. There should be a burden of proof required for minorities just as there is for non-minorities. The reality we have is that minorities don’t get the benefit of the doubt that non-minorities do, so, if anything, it’s harder for criminals from a minority group to get away with things.

    So yeah, you kind of are victim blaming, I think. LGBTQ+ are the victims of a right-wing hate campaign that labels them as groomers, so when people just assume that accusations are baseless, you’re saying that’s LGBTQ+ people’s responsibility. No, the responsibility is with the hate mob.
