Here's a good article on "transactional costs" of stereotypes written by a conservative BROTHA.

I agree in some parts with him!

Hmm.

About five years ago, my then-husband and a couple of our friends stopped off at a QT so one of my friends could run in and grab a pack of cigs. While we were waiting for her to return, some cops showed up at our vehicle and demanded ID from everyone in the car. We were detained for about half an hour.

We were released with a terse explanation that we fit the description of somebody or other they were looking for. We were four 30 - 40 something, skinny white folks in a white, '67 Ford pick up truck in Oklahoma.

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell description must have been given..."They're, well, heck, Bubba, you know! Just like Jim Bob, but there was CHICKS! No, I'm serious! Real live women-folk! And get this, there was NO GUN RACK on that there Ford. Communists, I tell ya."
