Northern Ireland has a very high level of gender based violence, mainly committed by white Northern Irish men. I’ve yet to see riots after a woman has been violently attacked or killed. Seems like the issue isn’t qwhite about violence but who gets to commit it! www.ulster.ac.uk/research/res...

Research uncovers eye-watering levels of violence against women and girls in NI

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.
