Racial Profiling
The television series we watched during class was a perfect example of racial profiling and the unintentional and intentional ways we view and judge others. I feel as a society we are continuing to grow and become more advanced as far as equality goes but it is also a big concern of mine that many stereotypes and mistreatment can still take place and will continue to exist. During the show many examples of race stereotyping took place such as the comments made by the three white men. Assumptions about a different colors race although they are not always negative (black men are fast) they can still be offensive and false. It is important for our society to develop a new outlook on the way we view others but the media and our culture teach us to adapt to these stereotypes and they are imprinted in our subconscious. I hope we can continue to grow together regardless of race!
