A white man running down the street as fast as he can in a black neighborhood.
Do you think it likely they’re running for the same reason?[/quote]
How about a white kid with a shaved head, neck and face tattoos, and a “methy” look about him? Think he’d be treated the same in any neighborhood as a clean-cut kid of any color?
The fact is that all animals profile. It’s a survival tactic. The “dangerous” looking animal/thing is never going to be treated the same as something more benign looking. It’s not about color, but about culture. People who **look** like they are criminals (and many of them try their damndest to look like criminals) will be treated like criminals. They will be watched more closely and people will be on their guard around them, ready to fight if need be. Why would anyone expect any different?
