@raven_remembers: Why do we judge the SAME thing differently based on how it LOOKS? The grey pigeon and white dove are the SAME SPECIES, yet they carry different SYMBOLS: one represents a pest, the other peace. We do the same with people. A person's FACE, physical appearance, clothing, skin tone, or accent can shape how we perceive them before they even speak. This is how PREJUDICE and STEREOTYPING take root. Sometimes, we judge the PERSON by their appearance before we understand their CHARACTER. #psychology #HumanBehavior #perception
