Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Our preconceived notions of a racialized social structure heavily influence our interpretation of racial meanings when meeting an individual. These preconceptions are shaped by our upbringing, cultural background, and personal experiences within society. The physical attributes of the individual, the kindness of their response, and the reactions of the social group may also play a role, but they are secondary to our preconceived notions.
