I have been in situations where I was outside, alone in the dark night and a stranger would cross my path. For me, those situations got me really spooked particularly when the stranger was male regardless of his race (it's dark after all). My reaction would probably be tension in my body and walking a little faster in order to pass them as quickly as possible. Even after reading Staples's essay, I must say with great embarrassment that I would probably still react the same way, only be far more aware of my reaction.
