Crazy Guy:
Hey. Look at that guy over there.
Homeless Guy:
Oh, yeah. That guy. He’s obviously weak.
Crazy Guy:
I agree. We should aggressively bother him.
Homeless Guy:
You’re right, we should. Any consequences we suffer from an altercation with him will be much less than he will, since we have much less to lose.
Crazy Guy:
Yeah, that puts us at an advantage in this circumstance, while in all other facets of our lives we’re at a disadvantage compared to him. That gives us good reason to bother him.
Homeless Guy:
Crap. Look. He’s wearing headphones?
Crazy Guy:
I didn’t notice until now. It’ll be too hard to get his attention. We should move on. Good thing for him he had those headphones on.
Homeless Guy:
Agreed.

Black Guy 1:
Hey. Check out that white guy. I bet he’s one of the bad white people.
Black Guy 2:
I think you’re right. I have no prior experience with him, and he isn’t exhibiting any overtly racist tendencies, but I’m sure that he’s a racist because most white people are.
Black Guy 1:
Wait. He’s added an urban affectation to his walk. I’m starting to doubt that he’s a racist.
Black Guy 2:
No racist would walk with such an urban affectation. I guess he isn’t so different from us, nor are we so different from him.
Black Guy 1:
I think you’re right. He just looked at me and gave a slight, confident nod. Now I’m sure that he’s not a racist, and in fact, I would have his back in any situation.
Black Guy 2:
Agreed.

Mexican Guy 1:
Look at that white guy over there. He’s wearing femininely tight jeans and must be a racist, making him an easy and just target if we chose to commit violence towards him.
Mexican Guy 2:
Wait, he just said “sup”? He said it very quietly, almost inaudibly as he passed, but it displayed a sense of kinship that I respect. I no longer think that he’s racist, nor an easy target.
Mexican Guy 1:
If we see some other guys give him trouble, we should have his back since, although his skin color and background is different than ours, he’s shown us respect.
Mexican Guy 1:
Agreed.

Buff Neighbor:
Here he comes. I bet he just got done watching his weird pornography we hear through the walls, even though he uses headphones.
Buff Neighbor’s Girlfriend:
I can tell that his apartment smells by the way that he acts, unlike yours which is perfect.
Buff Neighbor:
Thanks. I bet everyone’s apartment smells better than his does. I’m going to steal some of his stuff while he’s gone and give it to you as a gift. I’ll also murder his cats.
Buff Neighbor’s Girlfriend:
I’d love that, but he just locked the deadbolt, so it will be impossible to get in.
Buff Neighbor:
You’re right, but if he ever forgets to lock the deadbolt I’ll make sure to steal his stuff and murder his cats.
Buff Neighbor’s Girlfriend:
For his own sake, he better never forget to lock that deadbolt, even if he’s already driven 60 miles from his apartment and is unsure whether or not he locked it. It will always be better for him to turn around to double-check.
Buff Neighbor:
Agreed.
