The Final Judgement?

Yesterday I was on the bus home from work when a shifty guy sat down behind me. I must stress that I work in a very deprived part of Birmingham, which has high crime levels etc etc. I was on my i-phone and immediately regretted having it out. The guy was making strange sounds behind me, and I was convinced he was going to mug me either whilst I was still on the bus, or as soon as I got off it…

I was wrong.

Whilst rushing to get off the bus I had manage to drop my Network West Midlands pass, and who picked up and returned it to me? My potential mugger. I had stereotyped the guy based on his ethnicity, his appearance and where he was travelling from. Does this mean I should stop being so judgemental? Maybe a little less, but I’m not sure that it’s something I can stick to…
