YouTubers Simple Misfits Conducted A 'Social Experiment' To See What People Would Do If A White Guy And A Black Guy Broke Into The Same Car
For that, they simulated a situation in which two guys are trying to break into a car.
The first part of the experiment takes place in Little Tokyo, which is located a few blocks away from LAPD Headquarters, while the second is staged on the Hollywood Boulevard.

Like Nobody Even Cares About It. People Are Passing By As If There's Nothing Going On. See:
Forget People, Not Even The Cop Who Drives Past The “Crime” Without Even So Much Noticing It. Now, That's Something.
So, After 30 Minutes Of Trying To 'Break-In', Nothing Happened. Nobody Took Notice Of It, Nobody Came To Question The White Guy.
The Reaction Time Of Onlookers, Who Almost Immediately Begin Giving Suspicions Looks, Would Even Surprise The Finest Of Athletes, It Seems
And The Cops, Oh They Arrived At The Scene After Only 2 Minutes Into The 'Break-In'. See:
One Cop Even Pulled Out His Gun, Aggressively Demanding Quinton To Show His Hands
According To Simple Misfits, “It Was A 30 Minute Ordeal To Get The Car Keys And Show Proof Of Insurance Before The Cops Finally Gave In That It Was A ‘Prank’”
“[The cops held Quinton] against the wall and let him go once they checked his legal record to see if he was clean & once we showed proof it was indeed our car.”
Simple Mistifs do not explain why they chose two different locations for the experiment. It seems that Hollywood Boulevard is an area known to be prone to crimes, while Little Tokyo is famous for its hotels and restaurants. We think it would be interesting to see how this experiment would go if conducted in a single location.
