“Most of the rapes in the U.S. are committed by white men. Many people in the U.S. wrongly believe that the majority of rapes are committed by Men-of-Color against white women. The fact is that 90% of rapes occur between people of the same race. However, Men-of-Color are disproportionately incarcerated.
Women-of-Color are raped at a higher rate than white women. Women-of-Color have survived rapes by men of their own communities in addition to rape committed by white men. Myths such as “Women-of-Color are unrapable or oversexed” were intentionally created to erase the history of rape and brutalization of Women-of-Color by white men.”
