I agree I thought the guy was black.
I suspect if we were to show that B&W picture of the guy driving to 100 people of all races with no context of why we were asking, I wouldn’t even blink if all 100 people said they thought it was a black male.
Granted, the person could have scrolled down, but I go to the Daily Mail site fairly often to see some video on that page, but if I don’t see it right at the top or just one scroll down...I abandon the effort and leave the site, because I find myself getting exasperated because I cannot find it, and...who needs that?
