Victoria DuBois, Chapter 5, Question #6

The part of chapter five that was most interesting to me was closer to the end of the chapter when Wheelan started talking about racial profiling. What I found interesting about this was the fact that, like Betsy mentioned with the branding of markets, we don't really think about racially profiling someone, we just do it. Just as the woman on the bus in Chicago with Wheelan did when he explained that she questioned if he was going to the Bulls game just because of the fact that he was a white man, well dressed, and on a bus that was mostly used by black people. That seemed interesting to me, the fact that that woman didn't really think about all the other possibilities as to why he was riding that bus because he was a well dressed white man riding a Chicago bus late at night.
