Search Results: negative attention

The question is really simple.
You are in a position where you are currently not in danger, but in the future, you will most likely be, and the chances of you suffering negative consequences are really high.
You can choose to take precautions to minimize, or effectively nullify the chances of suffering these negative consequences.
The consequences are dished out by another sentient human being, who deliberately causes them.

In this position, are you responsible TO ANY EXTENT for your own suffering, if you don't take said precautions?

Example:
You enter a bad neighborhood. It is a well known fact that anyone is in danger who walks here after dark. You walk around in an expensive suit, with an expensive watch, you look at your IPhone X (whatever is the latest model), you don't pay attention to your surroundings.
You do this every day, because you have to go through the bad neighborhood to get home.
But you could take an alternative route, which is about the same length, and generally infinitely safer.

One day, you feel a knife's tip in your back. They tell you to leave your wallet and your phone on the ground, take off your clothes, and keep walking without turning around, or they will kill you.
You follow the orders. You get home, without your 6000 dollar suit, 1000 dollar watch, and your credit card with 500 dollar daily limit on it.
You are devastated. Obviously you go to the police, but they can't do anything. You just lost 7500 dollars.
Were you responsible to any extent, as you could have taken the safer path?

I'm a white guy, myself, and I basically exclusively date South Asian women. Not so much because I think they're the prettiest girls around (although they are quite pretty!), but because they are the only women who ever seem to pay me any attention. I have tried to date several white women through out my life, and only had extremely negative experiences, usually where the woman would act like she was doing me some kind of favor by letting me be in her presence. I have never had this problem with women of any other race...

Is it just me or have other guys found this too?
