Americans And Brits Always Make Behavioral Conclusions Of People Based On Race And Not Cultural Or Economic Status.
This is one of the major sins in society. With all the advancements in learning and understanding, conclusions continue to be based on uncontrollable physical characteristic when we should understand that culture and economics which would include religion dictate much of how we act, how we rationalize, and how we justify our motivations and behaviors or see the world in general. We all know that in general there is a stronger cause and effect with economics and crime but all to often race is associated with this act when that is more of a coorelation not a causation.

I agree because every nation does that. No exceptions

Most people stereotype and establish false conclusions regarding specific ethnicity's simply because society is fooled by mindless misleading media, and as a repercussion the family, school, and most social settings further add to the ignorance which usually consumes and brainwashes the ordinary citizen.

 what makes it worse is when less than informed medical, scientist and statistician community buy into it as well as valid data. If someone is of mixed race, you don't reach a conclusion about them bases on one race as so often happens.

My only problem with your statement is the word "Always". They don't "always" conclude based on race. Hey there's plenty of other bigoted closed minded petty ways to prejudge someone besides race. And there genuinely are some people out there who are fair and objective and consider many other factors.

 I know, "always" , "all" and similar words "always" kills debates. I guess what I mean is that the thinking is so infused in the two societies it has become difficult to escape it. When the two societies decides to integrate people of different cultures and appearances, it has been easier to judge human behavior based on physical characteristics with race being the primary characteristic. Once we as humans get beyond this, I would consider this the next evolutionary step of mankind.

Well America is a mixed society. I suppose Britain is getting there, which I don't know of...

What if I told you in prisons, most convicts are African American? It may seem like I could simply be picking on black. Statistics may have some truth to that. We also have free speech, so people get away with a lot of junk.

 Most are but would you also say most are not middle or upper class blacks and would that be unfair to associate these criminals with them? Just about the vast majority of those criminals grew up poor and did not finish highschool and of from the poor economic class. That is where the cause and effect lay, not their skin color. That is intellectually wrong and dishonest.

Why must all Blacks be placed in the same bucket? Lets reverse this thinking with other groups, you would not find that acceptable.

 I'm debating the phsycology of perception by most Americans and Brits. This includes all races. I said Americans and Brits, did I specify a race or are you of the belief that only a certain race can claim being an American or Brit? It has nothing to do with if a Black is electable in this country. Did his election change your opinion of what you percieve as a typical street criminal? Or do you now percieve a street criminal as just a poor or of the lower economic class without race popping into your head? I would bet you don't think class even with Obama in office.
