Do you mean somebody like Mikail Markhasev? http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~squidge/week1.html Excerpt: When Bill Cosby's son, Ennis, was murdered in Los Angeles a few years ago, I recall that lots of people, taxi drivers to talk show hosts, initially assumed that the murder had to have been drug-related. Even the son of the beloved Bill Cosby, a doctoral student who had simply stopped by the side of the road to fix a flat tire, wasn't safe from stereotyping. When his murderer was identified as Mikail Markhasev, a sullen-faced young Russian man with a criminal record, some in the press reacted as if it were impossible for a young Russian immigrant to be anything other than a rocket scientist. Blacks challenge the cultural imagination when they overcome the presumption of suspect profile; whites challenge it when they fall from the grace of presumed innocence. But, of course, as with all prejudicial conceptions, the big difference is one of consequence. Dr. Lorenz Jacobsen U.C. Berkeley Department of Ethnic Studies |
