unkosi kungakholwa waphinda waba ngomkhulu okhangele ibutho elihlaselayo, njalo ngebizo lenkosana yakhe, wathumela isimemezelo esivuthayo phakathi komuzi, esethusela ukuthi nxa ungazinikelanga masinyane, kumele ulindele ukulotshiselwa phansi. amadoda omphefumulo womuntu, loba kunjalo, ayesefunde isifundo sawo ekucineni, esazi ngcono kulokuthi enze ulutho kungelaseluleko, okwathi, esebale lesosimemezelo asithutsha, asithatha masinyane asisa kunkosana yawo, ebhalile ekucineni, ""nkosi nkosana, sindisa umphefumulo womuntu kulamadoda omele igazi akhalela incithakalo yethu."" We’re asking people to be superhuman. We all use information (some based on our own situations, some third party reliable, and some third party unreliable) to tell us what to do in certain parts of town, and around people that look a certain way. We all profile. The blonde girl Lizzi below may have had people view her as stupid or easy based on how she looks. Fair? Probably not. She has a choice, she can either try to convince all the other blondes out there to act smart, be smart to not perpetuate the stereotype OR she can just try and do her best to not be linked with the “type”. My guess (and I could be way off) is that the store owner commonly was shoplifted by people that looked/acted like Dinah Robinson … fair? Lutho neze. But is it the store owner who is acting irresponsibly? Let me say it this way… if person #1 looks/dresses/acts like people who have committed crimes in their store or in their neighborhood. (I’m making up hypotheticals here) The objective statistics say: 7 out of 10 times when this happens, a crime is committed. You may say, they still shouldn’t profile. but at what point in the statistics do you say, I’m still going to think the best of this person. 9 out of 10? how about 99/100? How about 999/1000? What if you have an Arab family in your neighborhood and you see him unloading dozens of bags of fertilizer into his garage? Maybe he just likes his grass to be really green. Are we supposed to always assume the best in people?
