There are two men walking down the street and the thought bubbles show what they are thinking about each other. I think this is something we do all the time, make judgements on just what we look like on the outside. Is that always bad? I don’t know.
They are just walking by briefly and I notice how much people have already judged what is happening, who that person might be.
In this image, they’re profiling each other. They’re both walking down the street and trying to point out whether that person is dangerous or not. They’re judging each other based on what they think without giving it a second look.
The thing that stood out to me on both slides of this cartoon is that they have a risk factor on it.
I looked at the cartoon and the main thing that stood out was that the black male feels that the white male is in the wrong neighborhood. But the white male feel the he is in the correct neighborhood. Another thing I notice is that the black male had the idea that the white male just might be a police officer.
I agree with your response. I feel like that stood out because the black guy feels like he’s in the wrong area, but the white guy feels just fine where he’s at.

Paragraph 3 0
Sep 23in this image the guy and the girl are make judgments on each other looks to see if they are risk factors to each other for example they wanna make sure that its safe to be around them they are taking to account there clothes skin color age…
Mar 4Martha Philip Martha Philip : totally true sometimes you do wanna know if your in a right place or not and surrounded by safe people there's more in people than you think talk to them and not judge them on the outside
Sep 23What i see in this image is two people walking down the street.
Sep 24i see the two man walking down but what are they thinking ?
Sep 25Safiya Hussein Safiya Hussein : I think theres more to the mage than just 2 men walking down a street.Sep 24What I see in this image is two men, one being white and the other black. They walk down the street and greet each other but while greeting they are making judgments about each other.
Sep 24i truly understand this good description
Sep 24What I see in the image is a lot of racism happening and a lot of people judging other people by the color of their skin.
Sep 24i agree with this but can you please describe more of what you mean you because you can really understand
Sep 24Although I see only two people in this image, I imagine that this is how a lot of people think. That’s why I said “I see a lot of people judging other people by the color of their skin.” Even though it is only two people, I think this happens often.
Sep 25Safiya Hussein Safiya Hussein : I only see 2 people in this image that are judging each other, I don't really see racism happening at all. Can you explain what part of this has racism ?Sep 24In this image i see 2 men greeting each other but they judged each other based on their appearances.
Sep 25I agree with your post, but can you expand your thoughts so I can get a little more understanding.
Paragraph 4 0
Sep 23Anthony Vazquez-Esparza Anthony Vazquez-Esparza : What do you notice about what each person is thinking in his thought bubble? moreon this picture you couldn’t see that they both are trying to figure out if its safe to be around each other the white man is noticing that the guy is black with a basketball cap they are safe for each other.
Sep 24I love you wallpaper oh my gosh its super cute ;)
Sep 24I agree that the men are using a checklist to see if they are safe to be around each other. I think people shouldn’t think that way because you can’t judge someone based off the color of their skin. I also think you shouldn’t use stereotypes to make your decisions.
Sep 24What about the baseball cap makes you think he is judging him? Do you think it is because he is wearing it backwards?
Sep 24Jaelin Seunarine Jaelin Seunarine : What do you notice about what each person is thinking in his thought bubble? moreI did not even notice that they are both trying to figure out if its safe to be around each other. Great description.

Sep 24Ricardo Chiman Ricardo Chiman : what do I notice about this picture by the comments they are making? moreI feel like the white woman is making a lot of judgments by just looking at the black person. And the black man making a lot of judgments about the lady.
Sep 24great job describing the white man being judgmental towards the black man.
Sep 25I noticed how the first thing on the list is the list is skin color. I also notice how based on how they both see each other they ask themselves if its safe
Sep 25I agree how you noticed they both have the skin colors listed first.
Sep 25Kobie Panhwanh Sun Kobie Panhwanh Sun : What do you notice about each person is in his thought bubble? moreI noticed how they already have a list of judging the other person. The white man has a list that stereotypes black guys on his checklist and vice versa. On the “risk factors” side for both of them, they each have 3 checks for each other, while the other side has 4. The thought bubbles aren’t resourceful.
Paragraph 5 0
No paragraph-level conversations. Start one.Paragraph 5, Sentence 1 0
Sep 23Emmanuel Hernandez Emmanuel Hernandez : How are each of their thoughts similar? How are they different? moreI think that each of their thoughts are similar because they are both looking at each other for how or what they look like.This is different because they have different thoughts about each other.
Sep 24Both of them are similar because they both have the thought of greeting and judging each other about their looks.
Sep 24Well according to the picture it shows that they both have different comments on each other. The comments are a list of things that each person might consider dangerous about the other person. The second part of the list are comments that might exclude the negative things from the other list.
Sep 25Their thoughts are similar in their own ways. They both have a few risk factors they think of each other. Each of their thoughts are similar because their bubbles are both judgmental.
Sep 25Safiya Hussein Safiya Hussein : I agree with because both of their thought bubbles are full of judgement.Sep 25Their thoughts are the same when it comes to judging each other based on their appearances but the way they see each other is very different.
Mar 4Martha Philip Martha Philip : they're thoughts are similar because they are both thinking about race. and what they both got on and assuming what they are like " a police officer' and "in the wrong neighborhood" so yea they are both social profiling each other [Edited]Paragraph 5, Sentence 2 0
Sep 23Anthony Vazquez-Esparza Anthony Vazquez-Esparza : How are each of their thoughts similar? How are they different? [Edited] moretheir thoughts are similar because they are both afraid of all the stereotypes they have heard about black men and white men. the black men has heard many stereotypes about to the white man just as much as the white man with the black man.
Sep 25I like how you said how they’re both stereotyping each other. I also thought the same.
Sep 24In my opinion I believe that they rare both scared because they both don’t rally know what each of them are going through.
Sep 25They’re different because the white guy has a checklist that has some stereotypes about African American guys, while the Black guy has stereotypes about white guys. In the white guys risk factors it includes “aggressive body language” and on the black guys risk factor, it says, “police officer.” The bubbles risk factors and mitigating factors are different.

Next, analyze the cartoon more deeply, respond to the following questions:
- Do you think the situation depicted here is realistic? Do people use similar “lists” to make judgments about each other?
- How aware do you think people are of the lists they make? When someone sees you walking down the street, what lists might they make about you? What lists do you sometimes make about others?
- How might these lists shape choices people make (beyond greeting each other)? What would it take to change the lists people make about each other?
Paragraph 7 0
No paragraph-level conversations. Start one.Paragraph 7, Sentence 1 0
Sep 24I do believe this cartoon is realistic. Because real people judge others without even seeing them.
Sep 24Ricardo Chiman Ricardo Chiman : Do you think the situation depicted here is realistic? Do people use similar “lists” to make judgments about each other? moreYes people make judgment about other people all of the time.
Sep 25Yes. I think the situation here is realistic because I too have done the same in a neighborhood I wasn’t familiar with. Also, people are judgmental of others when they first see them.
Sep 25Safiya Hussein Safiya Hussein : Do you think the situation depicted here is realistic? [Edited] moreYes, I do. I think people judge each other everything day without even realizing it. The part I dont agree on is that people make lists in their heads.
Paragraph 7, Sentence 2 0
Sep 23Anthony Vazquez-Esparza Anthony Vazquez-Esparza : Do you think the situation depicted here is realistic? Do people use similar “lists” to make judgments about each other? morei believe that the list are different for everyone because everyone hears different stereotypes and different assumptions.
Sep 24Jaelin Seunarine Jaelin Seunarine : Do you think the situation depicted here is realistic? Do people use similar "lists" to make judgments about each other? moreI have a similar belief in this question. Different people have different lists for each other because everyone is different.
Sep 25Kobie Panhwanh Sun Kobie Panhwanh Sun : Do people use similar "lists" to make judgments about each other? moreI can agree with this question. I feel like sometimes people can think similar about someone without saying anything to them. Of course there are plenty differences when being faced with someone who you aren’t familiar with and you go straight to questioning yourself about them.
Paragraph 8 0
No paragraph-level conversations. Start one.Paragraph 8, Sentence 1 0
Sep 23Anthony Vazquez-Esparza Anthony Vazquez-Esparza : How aware do you think people are of the lists they make? When someone sees you walking down the street, what lists might they make about you? What lists do you sometimes make about others? [Edited] morei think people who live in a more populated area where they are more gangs and more crime the people are more judgmental to the civilians around them. i believe that people would assume that im a troublemaker that im just outside looking for problems. a list i make about other people can be if they are gang banger if its safe to be around but most of the time i know if you dont mess them they wont mess with you
Sep 24Ricardo Chiman Ricardo Chiman : How aware do you think people are of the lists they make? When someone sees you walking down the street, what lists might they make about you? What lists do you sometimes make about others? morei don think people are aware that they do this, they might not think i want to talk because i have a resting angry face and most people won approach me, i just just look for if they look friendly and if someone says it i sometimes say it back
Sep 25Kobie Panhwanh Sun Kobie Panhwanh Sun : How aware do you think people are of the lists they make? moreI think they’re not fully aware of the list they make when the see others. I feel like people are comfortable judging others, first glance. Like while walking down the street you can see someone who doesn’t looks as clean as others and assume their homeless but that’s because you weren’t really aware of how you listed that person because it was just quick to think of.
Sep 25Again, I don’t think people make lists in they’re head, I just think they start judging as soon as they see an unfamiliar face. When someone sees me I feel like based on what the media put out there is that Im a terrorist or a dangerous person. I usually huge people on the way they’re dressed and hygiene.
Paragraph 8, Sentence 2 0
Sep 25Kobie Panhwanh Sun Kobie Panhwanh Sun : When someone see you walking down the street, what lists might they might they make about you? moreHmm.. for me if I was outta body, I would think I look mean or having an attitude so I wouldn’t approach her. They might think I’m some type of different asian. They also might think I’m scared or something. They might think I’m younger than my age based off my clothes. They might think that I’m short as well.
Paragraph 8, Sentence 3 0
Sep 24The list I usually make of other people is what race are they and there height.
Sep 25To be honest, the list I make when I’m walking home is kind of mean. I see a lot of homeless people, a lot of people who are disabled, a lot of people who talk to themselves and the list goes on. Most of the time when I’m walking down the street, I don’t really make a list of the other person because I’ll probably never see them again.
Paragraph 9 0
No paragraph-level conversations. Start one.Paragraph 9, Sentence 1 0
Sep 23Anthony Vazquez-Esparza Anthony Vazquez-Esparza : How might these lists shape choices people make (beyond greeting each other)? What would it take to change the lists people make about each other? morethe choices of people change on the way they view others because they see gang related people they might be scared and act out or do something wrong.
Sep 24Ricardo Chiman Ricardo Chiman : How are each of their thoughts similar? How are they different? [Edited] morethey are similar because they are both are judging on how they look and what they are holding, one is thinking about body language the other is thinking about them humming or them being a police officer
Sep 25Kobie Panhwanh Sun Kobie Panhwanh Sun : How might these lists shape choices people make?(beyond greeting each other) moreThese lists can either make you keep it pushing, or think about what the other person is going through because not everybody has it easy. Sometimes it is okay to be nice to people, Its okay to make someones day by smiling at them or having a small conversation. I know to always be nice to people in the streets because they might have it harder than me.
Sep 25Safiya Hussein Safiya Hussein : How might these lists shape choices people make (beyond greeting each other)? moreI feel like making lists is being stereotypical. You’re judging the person before you can see what they’re really like.
Paragraph 9, Sentence 2 0
Sep 24Jaelin Seunarine Jaelin Seunarine : What would it take to change the lists people make about each other? moreIt would take you getting to know and understand who the person is. I feel that we would have to talk to each other so we could gain a stronger understanding about each other.
Sep 25I agree to the getting to know and understanding a person because that is how you get to know someone after judging them. Usually the person you are judging isn’t really the person you judged them as once you get to know them.
Sep 25Kobie Panhwanh Sun Kobie Panhwanh Sun : What would it take to change the lists people make about each other? moreI feel like a full change. People greeting others, Not being so afraid because most people are really friendly, Not being stereotypical and just minding your business. I feel like a lot of people judge others just to judge them, but that doesn’t have to be the case if people just went on about their day.
