Is it possible to discriminate against people for the tone of their voice? I watched a news today about language profiling. Profiling is based on racial discrimination, meaning people who belong to a particular group of race can be doubted by the police. Because the police assume that these people are likely to commit a crime. A research found that this profiling can even happen via phone. There was an experiment where two women made a call to look for an apartment. The one was white and the other one was Africa American. And the result was that the Africa American woman was turned down by a landlord on the phone because she was able to pick up that this woman wasn’t white based on her tone of voice. Also I found out that sounding like black is often used to material amongst comedians. I was really surprised that people can be discriminated against for the way they sound. It’s very often to see people being discriminated against for their color of skin but I didn’t know that discrimination could happen even via phone.
