Racism Study

In a study done by the TV show, What Would you Do, a women was kicked out of a high end store because she was black. They had actors playing the people that worked at the store, but the people that were actually shopping were not filled in on the experiment. Many of the people around listened in to the conversation, but did not say anything to the manager, even though she was treating the girl awful. One man, however, did voice his opinion, and was so angered by it, left the store. The majority of the people did not try to help the girl ande ven one guy agreed with the manager saying that she was, " going to play the black card."

In my opinion, I believed that its was terrible that they would treat that girl like that. No one should ever be treated like that, ecspecially when they were doing nothing wrong. I would have steped in and said something. If I was that person I would hope somebody would come to my defense. It was her word against the word of the manager and the security guard, she was never going to win.
