Default A prejudice and Discrimination poll

This is a follow up poll for the post I made earlier

Prejudice and Discrimination

You are forced to play a two on two basketball game for your life against two unknown opponents. You may pick your partner

An otherwise unknown 25 yr old african american male
An otherwise unknown 25 yr old white american male

This is not a trick of any kind. Your partner will be randomly drawn form all persons of that category.

What if you instead had to choose a random traveling companion on some deserted stretch of highway. You have to choose from

an otherwise unknown 25 yr old african american woman
an otherwise unknown 25 yr old white american male

One of these choices is a serial killer. The likelihood that either one is the serial killer is directly proportional to that actual likelihood that a person of each category is a serial killer.
