Yes, we're all aware of how  prejudice and unconscious dehumanization has you convinced all young dark-skinned people look dangerous.
All Latino/Hispanic adolescents look to be in their mid-twenties to you and resemble rapists and MS-13 members.
All black adolescents look to be in their mid-twenties to you and resemble violent criminals and thugs.  
It's no secret why an officer shot and killed Tamir Rice for waving a toy gun on an empty playground almost immediately after arriving on the scene.
He was black; so the officer's prejudice and unconscious dehumanization of blacks led him to believe that Tamir Rice must have been a 20-something year-old man and not a 12 year-old boy.

dude, they looked like dangerous gangbangers because they were rioting and tearing the store apart ... [/quote]

Dude, you clutch your pearls and have a panic attack when you see a group of dark-skinned preschoolers board the Metro for a field trip with chaperones.
Don’t dodge the point being made here.[/quote]
