Please respond at least 10-12 sentences for each question. Also please answer each question separately.
1.Racial profiling is stopping or searching cars & drivers, being followed in stores, and/or being stopped on the street primarily because of race, rather than any suspicion or observed violation of the law.
Watch the following social experiment about racial profiling:
Imagine that you are the one attempting to vandalize the car in broad daylight in view of dozens of people. How would labeling or stereotype bias affect how people might see you? What if you were the one sleeping in the car? Would that stir suspicion like it did in the video?
Do you think racial profiling is a problem where you live? Why or why not? Have you witnessed or experienced what you would consider racial profiling?
2.Read chapter power point. You may post things you learned, things you found particularly interesting, questions about things you didn’t understand and any other reaction you have to the material that you read on the power point.
