Racial profiling is really a big issue these days, and even though many governments supposedly try to eliminate judgmental behaviors based on race or ethnicity from the general population with all types of laws, their own executive branches do precisely that and more…
In a social experiment of sorts (in the loosely defined sense), the Los Angeles crew from the YouTube channel “Simple Misfits” posed the following question: “Is there a difference between a white guy trying to break into a car vs a black guy?”
Now, you can see the outcome in the video below, but I should mention that, while the incident surely reveals common behaviors, I think it would have better / more indicative if the two men performed the act on the same location, as the second one was filmed elsewhere (I’m not sure if it’s on the same street, but if any of you know, do tell in the comments).
