I've this relative who was kinda discouraging when I got an interview with this really awesome company (it didn't work out, but oh I wanted it), her reason: it has brown people.
FROWNY FACE
That relative in question was overjoyed for me when I later got a job at a very old money WASP neighbourhood, because Henry VIII totally doesn't count as a serial killer because it was LEGAL! Plus, um, said old money WASP neighbourhood was affluent enough that they believe in hired help for everything - this means that unlike MY neighbourhood (full of immigrants that make my relative worried), where people stay and live and relatively knew each other - said old money WASP neighbourhood has a regular traffic of strangers that no one else knew (of every color too, like me, who was not white).
Strangers of every colour (usually a racial minority though) going out of a neighbour's house in that area was not out of the ordinary.
Okay, racial profiling makes sense if a victim remembers the race of the attacker, but I dunno how helpful it is to guess at it from what race the victims are or as a part of the unsub's other characteristics (unless language is involved I guess).
Like, okay, the remake of Star Trek spawned a discussion about modern remake Spock/Uhura versus Proudly Single Lady Uhura of the classics, and an lj poster who was black said that black women have very different issues than white women in terms of being judged on romance / career, said poster said that classic!Uhura wasn't single because she was independent - she was single because her co-stars were white and interracial pairing was scandalous back then.
...with that in mind, even discounting colonialism (which includes cross racial sexual predation), wouldn't it make sense that there will be more cross racial sex crime now that cross racial relationships and desires are more acceptable and common?
re: Nobody found him suspicious because he used to come around and help fix things.
