#so339 Historically in reality criminals were often depicted as white, older, and male, but U.S. coverage increasingly reinforced harmful racial stereotypes, such as the “Black man as criminal” myth. What’s interesting is how social media complicates this picture. Movements like #BlackLivesMatter and hashtags like #crimingwhilewhite expose the double standards in crime reporting and encourage people to question systemic biases.
