8. Society often has very astounding assumptions that just aren't true

This situation with the drug testing was not that surprising, but it was disappointing that so many have the assumption that black people must be more likely to be on drugs, when they are actually more equal.

One of the most astounding, surprising, and disappointing statistics one will ever find in America is what type of people are assumed to be on some sort of food stamp or welfare or unemployment assistance, vs who is actually on assistance. Its disgusting.
