Singer also discusses the White Male Effect. "White men felt the
least threatened by every [kind of accidental risk], from nuclear waste to suntanning to plane crashes." This was particularly true of "white men who were wealthier, more educated, and more politically conservative."
This isn't rich white men being reckless. They are accurately perceiving that they're at less risk.

1. Risk perception researchers have found similar results so often they’ve branded this the “white male effect.” White men feel significantly more comfortable with risk or are just acutely aware that their risk exposure is relatively minimal. They aren’t simply more willing to accept risk; they accurately perceive that they alone are at less risk. Slovic, writing in 1997, makes a similar point: Perhaps White males see less risk in the world because they create, manage, control and beneﬁt from many of the major technologies and activities. Perhaps women and non-White men see the world as more dangerous because in many ways they are more vulnerable, because they beneﬁt less from many of the technologies and institutions, and because they have less power and control over what happens in their communities and their lives. In these studies, Black people accurately perceived a lack of control over the dangerous conditions that lead to accidents. But the same powerlessness is present after an accident. Another reason non-white people may feel more at risk is that, after an accident, they are more likely to be blamed. (And based on what we know about stigma, that blame can increase the likelihood of the next accident.) Evidence of a racist divide—where some accidents are mistakes and others are violations—is not hard to find, even from the very first moments of life.
