[Publib] Re: Ethical scenario

[Diedre Conkling]

You might want to wait a bit and try again.  I responded last night without any problems.

I gave my story.  Jamie, age 15, is just about the nicest guy you could ever meet.  He loves every animal he sees.  He kindly asks permission to pet dogs and then just gives them a nice pat.  He was totally sweet with the girl that was his first crush ever.  He also has very dark skin, which feeds into some of the stereotyping in the survey.  Wears his hoody (or is that hoodie) and only takes it off to wash it and sleep.  Frequently his face is hard to see. He grunts just like every other teenager in response to question.

Jamie can also tell you just about everything you would ever want to know about atomic bombs.  He did what he always does.  He found something that scared him and he researched every aspect of it.  If he had asked a librarian, other than me, for help he never would have said he was interested in bombs because they scare him.  He is much too macho for that.  He probably would never have told why he was interested except to grunt "yes" if asked if it was for a school assignment.

And now you have to go check out the survey to see the questions and understand my response of helping everyone without prejudice.
