Boy Meets Girl

Why do people tend to jump to conclusions about things and situations?
Scenario 1
Most of the time people don’t know the full story about a situation yet they tend to be judgmental. A primary example is when black people see a black man and white woman together they tend to judge the female and the male. They immediately assume the girl is either a sket, easy to manipulate or some other theory along those lines, they don’t know the girl or guy yet they know the reason when the guy is going out with her.
Then they look at the guy and start asking why is he going out with a white woman, what’s wrong with us black women and s*** like that? This is something that happens a lot in a day and age where it is claimed racism is slowly being eradicated. Could it be that the guy is with the girl because he likes her and he is mature enough to see past the colour? Actions speak louder than words, a person doesn’t have to tell you what they are thinking you can tell by their facial expressions and it normally is a screw face where mixed relationships are concerned.
Scenario 2
Another example is the notion that guys can’t be friends with girls. Guys who have close female friends are immediately assumed of either previously being involved with the female, about to be in involved with the female or are only playing the friendship game in the attempt to be involved with a female. Why is it not plausible for a guy to enjoy the female’s company without being involved in a sexual nature?
I have in the past jumped to conclusions but when I realized what I was doing and how I would feel if that was me being judged I stopped. In one way or another people’s opinions play a part in our lives. The worst thing is when someone you call a friend jumps to conclusions about a situation.
A person who you trust and are close to;
If they conclude their own opinion without facts it leaves a person feeling a sense of betrayal. “This is life and there is nothing we can do about it” would be most people’s response. A tree grows tall and strong over the years from a tiny little seed; the same principle applies to change, it must first start inside and then slowly we can spread it to those around.
