&gt;<i>You&#x27;re actually saying there&#x27;s something &quot;systemic&quot; that causes ME to behave a certain way when in the presense of a black guy in a hoodie? OKAY.</i><p>It was the general &quot;use&quot; I used (e.g. the phrase could be read &quot;that ensure one takes the middle of the road&quot;). So, even if not you, then hell of a lot of people. Did you think that people who act in that &quot;certain way&quot; are unique snowflakes, and that their behavior is a personal curiosity that doesn&#x27;t have historical roots and cultural influences?<p>&gt;<i>Like I said before, you&#x27;re throwing out ghosts that you can&#x27;t fight against specifically, to reinforce a claim of what causes entire ethnicities to have interest and aptitude in coding and IT work.</i><p>Well, I like some Lynard Skynard myself, but I wouldn&#x27;t take it that far...
