Aguilar 1 Aguilar, Kimberly English 28 Aksoy, Can December 8, 2014 Word Count 1,324 Comparative Paper When people rely on surface appearances and false racial stereotypes, rather than in-depth knowledge of others at the level of the heart, mind and spirit, their ability to assess and understand people accurately is compromised (James A.
