I had a cop search my car when I was a teenager due to being a young male; he didn't care that I was white. If I had been female, he probably would not have. He said he thought I had marijuana in the car, etc.
I disagree with stop and frisk; however, while it may disproportionately affect minorities, it's not because they're minorities. It's because the minorities are more likely to be in dangerous/high crime areas and, yes,are more likely to be involved in activities that seem suspicious. Females would be privileged here as well.
As far as hiring processes, I suppose it may have an impact at some places. As someone who has participated in employee selection, I can tell you I've always been very, very careful to avoid discriminating.
Trayvon wasn't shot because he was wearing a hoodie.
Well, there were two major questions. Why was Trayvon shot, and why did his murderer get away with it?
yes... but those countries have a different set of
rules for privilege. When I went to college I learned Koreans were at the top,
Japan, China...and Filipino is at the bottom.
Where? Seoul?

He may not have been shot because he was wearing a hoodie, but Zimmerman damn well started stalking him because he was wearing a hoodie.
And then what happened after GZ stopped "stalking" TM? Since TM made it all the way back to his house on the front porch, why did he go back and attack GZ who was heading back to his truck to wait for the police to arrive, i.e. not "stalking" anymore?
and what did GM start?
There were past burglaries in his development. TM looked suspicious and did not even live there.
I guess if TM was white it would not have been so sensationalized.
