I know some people think that way, and racialize everything.
I admit that I just don't get this point of view. I really don’t. I aim, and generally succeed, at being as color blind as possible.
To me a person with a clean car and nice clothes is a person with a clean car and tidy clothes. I don't get surprised when that person turns out to be a black female or a white man.
Same thing with a person at the opposite end of the spectrum - i.e. a nasty car and dirty clothes. While one could stereotype blacks in this situation (“ghetto”), or whites (“hillbilly”), why would you do that?
