***IMPORTANT*** Read the following FIRST. Create a mental image of the following and what happened:
A 34-year-old man drives home from work one Friday afternoon. While passing through an intersection, another vehicle runs a red and strikes the man's car. The man is terribly injured. The ambulance arrives. On the way, he tells the paramedic "I don't want to die" but he dies shortly after arriving in the hospital.
Okay, think about this man. What was he like? What was his job? Think about the whole story and CREATE A MENTAL PICTURE of what happened!
Now, go down for the question...

Okay, now the question: what was the man like: hair color, height, width, eye color, clothing, age, and most importantly ETHNICITY. Was this man white, black, Asian, Hispanic, or other, and why did you think this? ;)

The man was: 34, short neatly cut black hair, brown eyes, 5'11 average build, wearing a suit on his way to work downtown (stockbroker or sales)
why did I imagine him white? It was automatic and it is the society that I live and work in everyday!

Middle aged, balding, overweight, caucasian, blondish.
Short sleeved shirt and jeans.
Some facial hair - beardish.
I have no idea why I pictured that man.
