Racist Sexism in example texts

• A frivolous arrest: The woman is most likely targeted for the combination of her race and gender. The copcaller as well as the cops are quite likely to have negative stereotypes about women of color in particular, and especially against non-white women in mixed race relationships. (If they also have negative stereotypes specifically targeting non-white or white men in mixed race relationships, these are probably different stereotypes.)
