How nice for you that you can tell the character of a man, by the color of his skin. Perhaps you should become a motivational speaker, and teach the whole world this trick.
So you're in a part of let's say London, you don't know well and you've got lost and find yourself walking down an alley late at night. The path diverges...down one street there are young black man in hoods, with gold chains etc playing rap music, down the other you can see some smartly dressed men who look white...I know which path most people would choose even if they want to deny it. (Turning back isn't an option) It's more complicated than saying it's racism. We all form judgements it's part of survival...the point is to see you're being judgemental and not to act on it unless you're really in a difficult situation. And then it's not even the conscious part that decides, it's just instinct.
I'm scared of young black males.
