When did it suddenly become okay to judge a book by it's cover?

I swear, nowadays it seems perfectly okay to say "If he didn't want to get shot, he shouldn't have dressed like a thug." "If you don't want people to think you're a slut, cover up your body." "Muslim people commit a lot of terror attacks so of course I'm going to be scared when I see one on a plane."

Like geez. I thought making assumptions about people based on stereotypes was supposed to be a BAD thing!

    You forgot:

    The officer is white, so he's a racist and deserved to get shot.

    White people have it easy in life due to white privilege.

    This comes from both sides. Please don't incriminate only one side.

    And, if you don't want to get shot, DON'T FIGHT WITH THE POLICE. It really doesn't matter how you're dressed. It's how you act.

    .

  • If you are showing off your body like a slut, expect to get treated like one. For instance, if you don't want men staring at your breasts, then don't wear clothes that expose them. If you don't want people to stare at you like a sex object, wear more modest clothing.

    Republican men should cover up and not wear shorts or a tank top because it gets females aroused. They need to dress more conservative.

    Well, crime is linked to thuggery, Islam is linked to terrorism. We have to face it. The sooner we accept that all lives matter, the better this planet will be.

    they are not assumptions they are questions. scientists make assumptions based on repeated experiments that have the same results.
