Mob mentality.
Once somebody steps up, everybody does.

I like how the experiment doesn't show black people walking by and their reactions to a white or black person cutting the chain. My guess is it would pan out the same way.

And they both admitted that they would likely have called the cops if it has been a black kid. That's the whole point they're arguing, that racism is endemic in all of our societal views. There's another video where some white kids are blatantly vandalizing a car. When the cops finally get called, it's for another car that has some black sleeping in it...

__________________________________________________________________
They DID show black people commenting on the white boy who was cutting the chain. I guess you guys missed the part where they said they didn't think much of it because they don't think that white boys carry around burglar tools.
Could they have shown more black people walking around? Yes, but that's not what I was commenting on.

you could write a thesis on how it is flawed. if you studied the video you could count numerous ways the two kids behaved differently. the black kid basically acts guiltier.
why aren't 100% of the people stopping 100% of the potential robbers in the first place?
ambiguous?
have to make a fast decision that either gets you more involved or sends you on your way?
taking a risk on being wrong?
it's a difficult situation for a random person to judge. that difficulty could contribute to why people end up relying on an implied association or stereotype or whatever to make their fast decision.
but just because a stereotype influences a split decision you make while walking through the park doesn't mean it dominates your decision-making in general.

I wouldn't confront either of them
the black guy because I don't want to get knifed.
the white guy because I don't want him to track me down a week later and rape me then pack my body parts into his freezer.

The professor from Yale is spot on. Race affects our perception of the world, even if we don't want to admit it or feel guilty for thinking/feeling it.
