All three admitted to stealing. No suspicion of criminal activity, Just public responses seemed to be based on color and then gender. An interesting experiment I'd like to see than to a full study; nationwide, urban and rural, and more variables added. What would be the public response if the thief was a fifty something well dressed black woman?
