In the typical case, people would look outside their window and see a black man in their otherwise white neighborhood and make the snap judgment that he was up to no good, even when there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
Un ejemplo típico es el de alguien que mira por la ventana y ve a un hombre negro en su vecindario de blancos y juzga de inmediato que no lleva buenas intenciones, incluso cuando no hay indicios de comportamiento delictivo.
