Do blacks in Africa wish to spend more money on cars? In England? Jamaica? What about Brazil?<BR/><BR/>I think this is the gist of why Gladwell finds such arguments to be so "obviously" racist because they otherwise make no sense.

It is not the black and white stripes on the young zebra that draw the attention of the lion, it is its easy-to-overpower size. <BR/><BR/>I've shopped for cars. Never once did I leave my home without considering my how my appearance and demeanor might be interpreted by a salesperson. No flashy watch or stylish jacket -- no sense in getting them salivating. Instead, I dressed like dad did for the hardware store. I'm not an idiot. I realized that I was about to enter a killing zone; that I would be sized up, circled, and, if I let my guard down, devoured. <BR/><BR/>Like anything else, your skin color will be an issue only if you let it. Go in fully informed, with your weakest impulses in check, and ready to run for your life.
