This is more about people's surprising intuitions than counter-intuitions, but I find it rather interesting, as I'm sure you do, to see how people reacted so differently to the different actors. I personally find the experiment not to be so reliable because, apart from the racial difference, the second actor was better at acting the part of a criminal, openly admitted to a crime, and was dressed with oversize clothing more like you would expect from an unruly fellow (although technically they were both wearing the same types of clothing).
What are your thoughts on this fascinating experiment?
