stereotyping

In class on Tuesday, we talked about racism and stereotyping.  It was shocking to read about the news of a young seventeen year old getting shot in Florida just because he was wearing a hoodie.  I think it shows how ignorant people can be to other races just because of how they look.  What I found to be crazy was that the man actually thought his reason as to why he shot him was some what being that the boy was wearing a hoodie and looked armed.  After watching a clip of “A Different World” during class, I found it to be shocking that issues that were huge back then are somewhat relevant today, especially with the seventeen year olds murder.   I believe that the neighborhood watch man should go to jail for making an ignorant suspicion over a harmless boy.
