As much as the media and the intelligentsia preach about
judging people as individuals rather than the knowledge of similar or similar
looking people, it is not practical or even safe to do so, especially when the
‘enlightened’ do not practice what they preach.
If someone is out alone at night and notices that a dark
figure has been following him for several blocks, he will not judge the
stranger as an individual but as a possible threat based on previous knowledge
about crime even though it could simply be a coincidence that the two people
have the same route, a smart person will not take a chance for the sake of judging
individually.
In the same way, the free market does not view people
individually even though the results are generally considered ‘Racist’ when
they are the honest decisions of businessmen basing their knowledge of
different types of people as it applies to theft, gangs and violence; for
instance, a restaurant in a black community known to have customers that would
rather walk out than pay for their food would be wise to have suspected customers
pre-pay rather than take a risk on individuality.
