Original Note:
The title implies a specific cohort of “white men” not supported by reports. “Men” was a cohort (including men of all races) as were “white people” of any gender. Both groups were shown to be heavily targeted by hate speech in Facebook’s initial race blind content analysis. https://businessinsider.mx/facebook-is-changing-its-race-blind-hate-speech-algorithm-to-prioritize-flagging-content-it-deems-the-worst-of-the-worst-after-backlash-over-removing-black-users-posts/ https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/facebook-comments-algorithm-racism-b1766209.html
