lol. I feel dumb now. Sorry (o^^o). you are a tremendous goof ^^
on topic though, if people around red shirts are more sensitive to red shirts, why would that be? shouldn't Pavlov be paving a road to acceptance for red shirts by reinforcing MANY good images of them? Why the heck would we see the opposite? (assuming your presuppositions hold). I don't get it?

Lora is well-intentioned.
If only racism could be destroyed by presenting television viewers with positive images of all the races... We'd not have racism.

I personally grew up as the only white boy on our street. I also went to public schools that had extreme racial violence some of which I witnessed and was part of so I feel very passionate on the topic. I also grew up with a mother that dated outside her racial lines so I not only lived in a black neighborhood but lived with a black man growing up.
I can tell you 100% that my actual experiences formed my thoughts on blacks, and that in no way shape or form would TV or any movies change that perception.
Racism is extremely complicated, I just lack the ability to put into words everything I want to say on the topic, sorry if my posts are jumbled or confusing, or perhaps a bit simplistic.
