Ohhhh, sorry, I had it backwards and assumed you were drawing a correlation between red shirts and black people (your reference to blood pressure increase and all) and inadvertently broadened your example to include "good" red shirts.

If you saw red shirts all the time, wouldn't you be less likely to draw the connection of red shirt = punch? More interactions would mean more opportunities for your brain to establish a neutral or even positive image of red shirts, no?

Is that where you are going with the whole movie thing?
