    Describing an 18 year old as a “teen” certainly is a choice. And not one commonly made when the person accused of a crime is black.

        That does not matter, by law, he is an adult. The term “teen” is used when under 18 in the news. This is clear bias because of his race.

            If I told you, “Gary’s fucking a teenager,” I’m guessing you wouldn’t assume that teenager was over 18 and would be thinking maybe the authorities should be contacted.

              I absolutely would. Do you watch porn? There’s a whole “teen” category

                Sorry… you would “absolutely” assume that if I told you that “Gary [i.e. someone we both know on a first-name basis] is fucking a teenager” that the person was of legal age because of a porn category?

                Because I’m pretty sure we don’t mutually know a porn star named Gary.

                This also makes me worried about your feelings on incest.

                  Wow wtf is that kind of strawman? Do you not see the basic correlation between “fucking a teenager” and “fucking a teenager in porn”? porn has normalized that fucking a teenager is 18
