I didn’t like it because you “stacked the deck” in your scenarios. Hardly seems conducive to debating in good faith.
You’re busy changing two variables (dress and race) at a time. Proper analysis would be to isolate variables, not add in another one.
Btw, nobody has said race is the only factor determining outcome do I’m not sure who you are arguing with in that.

It was not my scenario. Review the nested quotes.
You have some nerve talking to me about stacking the deck.
It is a scenario you jumped on:
If race is the question, one should isolate that variable, not add in another one (clothing).
As an engineer, don’t you agree?
You were using a big sob story on how only people of color get assaulted because of the color of their skin. I just proved that your story is a big fairy tale. Because people of all colors get assaulted because of the color of their skin. That all colors are bigoted and racist. But in the world of libs a white man getting assaulted gets over looked. I guess that because of his white privilege. He deserved it.
Have you read on here. There are people who post on here who want federal programs just for black people. No one else need apply. I listed just one program among many that says no poor white male need apply. He thinks that those programs are not good enough because other minorities can apply. He wants programs just for black people.
So yes their is an anybody who is arguing for only helping blacks.

I did not introduce the variable of clothing. Did you not review the nested quotes as I suggested?
Absolute BS, I never said any such thing.
Yes, I know you didn’t but you jumoed into the conversation saying it wasn’t about race.
Do you agree it was wrong to introduce clothing as an additional variable?

“Wrong”? 
It’s not about race.
Perhaps you don’t know how mathematics work to determine the effect of a given variable. One performs a study where all other variables are held constant and one variable is changed to see the effect of that one variable.
One can have multiple variables and change them but it requires a solid DOE and more tests to determine the effect of the variables.
Changing the clothing while changing race makes it difficult to discern correlation.
In this case, one wouldn’t compare the effect of a black man in a suit to a white man in jeans and t-shirt. If the store reaction were different how would you know if race or clothing (or combinatory effect) was the cause of the different reaction? There would be no way no know.

Perhaps you don’t realize people are not equations.
You sound like my wife. 
If we are to understand motivations of human behavior in aggregate, one must create mathematical supported studies. It isn’t rocket science.
But to the topic of white privilege, I am reminded of some tests performed around job applications where resumes were created that were essentially identical except the name where one was a standard name while the second used a more stereotypical black name. Guess who got called for the interview far more often?

Culture, not race. Hence the clothing.

Perhaps you are the problem then.
And if a black man and a white man wear the same clothing yet get a different reaction?
Perhaps. But we’ve been happily married for over 20 years do I must be going something right.
