Director of catcalling video responds to race debate [apologizes for "racial bias"]
CNN ^ | October 30, 2014

Posted on 10/31/2014 6:04:15 PM PDT by grundle

The director of a video showing a woman being catcalled on the streets of New York has weighed in on the seeming racial disparity of the men featured.

Rob Bliss, who posted the video on behalf of the anti-street-harassment group Hollaback!, told CNN that those shown were just a small sample.

"First, we regret the unintended racial bias in the editing of the video that over represents men of color," Hollaback! said in a statement released Tuesday. "Although we appreciate Rob's support, we are committed to showing the complete picture. It is our hope and intention that this video will be the start of a series to demonstrate that the type of harassment we're concerned about is directed toward women of all races and ethnicities and conducted by an equally diverse population of men."

The only way this will be settled is if they release all ten hours of un-edited video.

Get a load of this. The ‘film maker’ has a wee bit of an agenda. Warning, bad language.

"First, we regret the unintended racial bias in the editing of the video that over represents men of color,"

This isn't what they were saying yesterday. Their initial response was that there weren't very many white men who said anything, and the things they said weren't problematical.

However...Ahem.... How about the elephant in the room? She walked around for hours, right? Where is the video of the butch lesbians who hit on her? You know it happened. Why didn't they show that?

Is it racist that I didn’t notice that the catcallers were ‘nonwhite’ until it was pointed out to me?

“racial bias in the editing of the video that over represents men of color”

Yeah, right, kinda like the racial bias inherent in the overrepresentation of “men of color” in prisons.

Funny how it keeps working out that way, isn’t it? Has to be racial bias.

If he claims he edited out the white men, then I want to see those he edited out. He couldn’t just be claiming that to put out a fire, could he?
