The video speaks for itself....
Watch the whole thing or don't talk.
Watch the whole thing or don't talk.
For example
If I saw a trashy looking man cutting a bike chain- I'd wonder if he was stealing
If I saw a well dressed man cutting a bike chain- I'd most likely think that he had lost his key
The Shop
Had the same people walked by the white kid and not the black kid, then you'd have some real evidence, but that isn't the case.
I would assume he lost his key

If it isn't race it will be protestants and catholics, or muslims and christians, or muslims and hindus, or two stroke vs 4 strokes.
People will always find some reason to hate others.
Race is just easier to figure out which side they are on.
Pit Row
I'd laugh if someone was wasting their time nicking that bike.
Way too many other variables that are unaccounted for as well.
Nonetheless, the video still highlights a very real phenomenon - racial stereotypes.
However, I was referencing the video more as an expression of what I see all of the time. I think people have gotten to where they manipulate their racism to the point of it being tolerable, but certain situations will bring it into light.
I personally believe that this would happen in most areas. Of course, there are areas where nobody would even say anything about it.
That is a strong case that it could be edited to make a point. I doubt it. Just read some posts about a certain number 7.

Let us know the results of your test.
Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for European American compared to African American.
