Arla is a 30-something, white female who works in an office downtown. She saw a pizza delivery person being beaten for his pizza and cash. Based on the own-race bias, she will be most accurate in recognizing the culprit if the suspect is
 
  a. Hispanic.
  b. African American.
  c. female.
  d. 30-something.

Question 2
