Part 2/6:
In the transcript, one individual is trying to describe Reggie without directly mentioning his race, opting instead to focus on observable traits such as clothing, jewelry, and mannerisms. For example, they mention Reggie’s yellow pants, gold tooth, diamond earring, and a large necklace with a dollar sign—all markers that could be stereotypically associated with a certain racial or cultural identity. This method of description highlights how people often rely on exterior markers that are culturally linked to race but may avoid explicitly stating racial identity altogether.
