Did you miss the part where I said I had both personal experiences from living in these areas, AND the easily demonstrable different rates of offenses? What urban area is trying to disenfranchise people? Where are the fundamentalist cults that think a woman should be subservient and silent? Which populations are passing anti-transgender laws despite no evidence of any problem? Which populations banned gay marriage, and which ones produce the people that (more often) refuse to grant licenses for the same?

Racism, sexism, etc are absolutely everywhere, but that doesn't mean they are there at the same rates, and ignoring that won't help us make it any better.
