DIFFERENCE IN PERCEPTION



I saw this picture on Tumblr. It took me to a website and this was the caption:


This reminds of the incident with athlete Richard Sherman over MLK weekend. He was called a thug (and other racial slurs) when he spoke passionately and aggressively after a game. Would an aggressive white athlete be called a thug? I doubt it. Too often the word we use to describe one person would be completely different if only race/gender were changed. http://womenothers.wordpress.com/.../difference-in.../


Interesting. Huh?
