White males are considered the top-of-the-heap boogymen among contemporary academics, and a college lecturer is adding yet another notch to that, er, distinction.
Writing in the Huffington Post, University of South Wales’ Richard Stokoe claims something dubbed the “White Male Effect” causes that demographic to “disobey warnings in a crisis far more than any other.”
Stokoe, who teaches about “planning for disasters, civil contingencies and strategic leadership,” links to a 2011 study which asserts white men’s “privileged position” gives them a “low perception of risks.” Researchers Anna Olofsson and Saman Rashid note a better term for the phenomenon might be the “Societal Inequality Effect” as “ethnicity serves as a marker of inequality and discrimination.”
Mr. Stokoe contends white guys have a “greater distrust of officialdom and experts, believe more in their own instincts to be right over anyone else’s and, have a higher tendency to not do what they are told even if it is for their own good or the good of others.”

Funny, but it kinda sounds like the old-fashioned concept of being a man.
That's because the vast majority of Odfficialdom and "Experts" are flaunting THEIR leftist White Privilege.
NOOO You have to trust all experts!! /s
Another university moron out to claim yearly award for stupidest claim.
“causes that demographic to disobey...”
Stokoe speaks the language of someone breeding sheep. Consider yourself fortunate in his world if you get fleeced but not slaughtered.
“disobey warnings in a crisis far more than any other.”
Really? What about certain cultures completely ignoring the lock down? Minorities having parties, Muslims still gathering in mosques...??
These people talk about “unconscious bias” all the time, usually aimed at white men, but don’t see how everything they think is completely biased and irrational.
The white men who are most responsible for spreading the virus are the white men who live in Wuhan and Beijing
70% of the cases in NYC are minorities. I guess the “white guys” are asymptomatic super spreaders infecting all the minorities. If you want to get dumber and lose your common sense sign up for one of these indoctrination grievance centers.
Just goes to show that us white guys are smarter than the politicans and their “experts”. I never did do what I was told if I didn’t agree with it. Common sense you know. Also I consider myself the best “expert” about what’s right for me and my family and I will continue to thumb my nose at “experts”. Remember after its all said and done, these “experts” are all college graduates of our liberal infested higher education system. That tells me all I need to know about their “expertise”. F##k em.
Sounds like prejudice and bigotry to me. Certainly stereotyping.
The guy is going after white males?...how edgy. (rolling eyes)

the country is lucky im not in charge of anything... I’f I was, Gallows would be constructed in every town square and people like this, as well as the major media, would be the town folks entertainment every weekend... complete with many road side vendors for those who’d like to stroll the streets and watch!!
It’s because he isn’t one ... a male that is (at least around the mouth ....
You only have to see the avoidance of using the name Wuhan Virus to know which side a writer is on.
What? I thought it was the Chinks who were spreading that virus.
aaaaand there’s little to no outrage by the media- however, have someone blame it on minority groups, and all hell breaks loose, and the professor would be fired immediately-
sounds like me, and i am a white lady!
