4. Stereotyped Views The running back happened to be black and broke out a giant run for a touchdown. My white roommate said, “Of course he’s good, he is used to running from the cops.” Which simply means because he is black and plays for a College team he is automatically criminal. (George)

5. Socialized into being racist Some students begin to realize how their parents’ views have impacted them. My friend Al (who is white) is walking towards my friend Sam (who is black). Al is with his girlfriend, and looks like he had one too many beers that night. The first words that come out of his mouth were, “What up nigger” with a big smirk on his face. Al says: “where I come from there aren’t too many black people, but now here at College, there is a lot more than I feel comfortable and when I get drunk, I can’t help myself. I was brought up this way.” (Derek)
