Linguistic Profiling

I thought I was going to do far better than I did on this test. I know that I have heard someones voice and thought about their race, but I didn't know that it was to the point where people were not being able to rent or own houses because of the sound of their voice. I think a lot of people discriminate based on dialect because they have heard stereotypes; for example, if you are Oriental you must be smart. I think that it was right for the people who were not being treated fairly to get angry. I know that I would have gone to someone to make a complaint. I really think that it is sad that we, as a country, still discriminate against each other.
