I don't trust those things on TV. They seem so easy to slant in a direction that suits the producers. That's not to say that a bias wouldn't exist in that scenario. However, it's not like you can conclude that most people would stop a black man from stealing a bike, but help a white woman do the same, from the sample set that they CHOSE to show.



That's very true. It wouldn't be too surprised if the whole show was fake. Especially after finding out about Breaking Amish.


I think you could conclude that from common sense. People are much more racist then they think they are.
