When Racial Profiling Becomes a Family Affair
My two-year-old nephew Nicholas is as sharp as they come.
He sees a Starbucks logo and immediately says, "Robbie's coffee," recognizing his uncle's favorite brew. He sees a Mercedes logo and says, "Gramma's car."
He saw the Ft. Hood shooter on TV and immediately said to his father, "Robbie!!!"
Really? Is there that much of a resemblance? I guess I should leave extra time to get through airport security tonight....
He might have said that about any bald guy. Try a picture of Bruce Willis and see if you don't get the same response.
The Fort Hood clearly favors a white shirt, while you opt for stylish black. Worlds of difference. That having been said, kids say the darnedest things.
Thanks, Craig! You do point out the subtle but powerful differences! :-)
