re: #8 JordanRules
This recent study about perceptions of size etc seems appropriate.
I saw a FB post on this, read the linked CNN article, which also pointed to other studies which indicated that most people overestimate the age, and underestimate the innocence of black preteen and teen males relative to whites.
Then I looked at the top two comments on FB:
The first was “Teach your children not to break the law and to comply with police and you won’t have to worry!”
The second took CNN to task for posting the article, which would only serve to divide us more.
“Fucking hell,” I thought, “What’s the point?”
