I'd like to think that my response would be the same no matter the situation, but I couldn't say unless the situation presented itself. Funny you posted this because yesterday I worked for maybe 30 minutes on a post with comparative photos of young men in groups walking down the street. One photo was black kids and the other white. All of them were dressed similarly and I asked "would you be more frightened of one group than the other?" I was going to do the same with a photo of a muslim on a plane dressed in traditional garb and then a guy same age dressed in more "western" clothing and ask "who would you prefer to sit by?" It didnt turn out well though so I nixed it. This video is exactly what I was aiming to ask though. I thought the cute blonde at the end was a bit of a curve ball, but then it's true that attractive people can get away with more than ugly people. Sad, but true.
I think it is more accurate - at least in this situation - to say that attractive females can get away with more than anyone else period. It wouldn't have mattered if the white and black guys were both top models. The reaction would have probably been similar for both of them.I thought the cute blonde at the end was a bit of a curve ball, but then it's true that attractive people can get away with more than ugly people
