high profile incidents (rape/murder) cloud up the thousands, hundred thousand, and millions of transactions that take place reasonably and humanely on the internets and highways.

Rape and murder can happen anywhere, but it's mostly with someone the victim knows well or for a longer period of time. Stranger on stranger crime is most likely theft of some sort, not murder/rape.

I was one of three men in a training about a social issue.  There were about 35 in the training.  I was the only white man.

I think that humans tend to go to what interests them.  The trick is to get those in power (white,straight, abled, middle/upper class men) to be interested in women, children and People of Color.
