I happened to find my car vandalized this morning. This isn't really a question, more of a story. Heres how it started:
My neighbor (this really nice older African American man, works at my school) warned me that a guy was looking into my car early this morning and trying to get into it. He told me that he chased the guy off. Well, I thanked him and drove off. When I came back, I left my car in a close by parking area and went inside. Some friends came over and we hung out for a bit. When I came back out 2 hours later my car was broken into. The guy took nothing, not my navigation system, ipod or even the cash in my glove compartment. I called the cops and went back to my neighbor and asked him what the guy looked like. He said "long t-shirt, baggy pants, 17ish, chubby". Heres the part that made me upset. The cop came and asked my neighbor the same question. After the answer, the cop asked "what race was he". My neighbor had a really sad face when he said "he was black".
