American policeman swear on duty? I'm shocked. :) The video was actually quite interesting, it makes me want to repeat the study in different locations and write a paper on how racism differs between different states or countries, and maybe explore different variables such as gender, age, dress sense, model of car. A study of suspiciousness. Oh dear... Side: True.
There was an episode of a show "What would you do?" where they send someone to start taking random things from someone else's car and see if anyone stops them. They started with a blonde woman and she never gets stopped at all, in fact some people help her. Then, the white guy, he usually gets away. Sometimes he is questioned, but usually left alone. They end with the black guy, and he is stopped pretty much every time. Side: True.

There were likely very different reactions on both sides but obviously this isn't going to an accurate test because of all the different people. It also could be directed in a way where only certain reactions are kept in the video. Could also just be coincidence that those police officers questioned the black guy but DIFFERENT police officers didn't pay any attention to the white guy. Side: Wait..., what? No!!!
