Shit your professors say

The closest I can find is AAA talking about how distractions while driving can cause someone to miss brake lights.

I think what was being referred to is this: http://www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/regrev/evaluate/808696.html

Basically, its a study that claims that as people got used to the central high mounted stop lamps (called third brake lights around here) their effectiveness leveled off due to the removal of the novelty effect.

There was also one recently that found that flashing lights are more effective than the steady-on lights.

So my prof claimed that the mere effect can cause you to buy sonething later because you start taking stuff in subconsciously. I looked it up and all it is is people having a preference for things when their exposed to long enough.

So saying someone doesn't deserve the same compensation for doing the same job as anyone else because of background isn't supposed to offend anyone? Nice.

I probably should have said, "offend the poor people".  This was a community/2 year college I attended before transferring to a 4 year university in order to save money.  Either way, it's still an extremely weak argument.

And unfortunately, I don't remember what the conversation was about.

Oh, found it. What I was saying is that if the rich white kids were doing the work, there's no reason they shouldn't get the compensation.
