The author of the article appears to be black.

Color matters, even in San Francisco.

When observed by others, I am Schr�dinger�s Black Man, existing in a constant state of potential criminality. Am I committing a crime at this moment or merely capable of it? Is my walk suspicious because I lack the gait that neighbors expect while I am walking? Or do I look suspicious because I �look� suspicious and because other characteristics serve merely to reinforce that impression?
