Its hard imagining anyone mistaking him for 20.

According to studies, blacks, especially males, are often perceived as being bigger and older than they actually are. That makes sense because some perceive black males as menacing, regardless of their actual actions.

Just read the posts here from our closet racists.

Its the only thing that makes real sense. A 12 year old is a 6th grader. A 20 year old is in his third year of college. A lot of major changes happens physically to the human body between 12 and 20.

So its not only attitude/prejudicial problem but a perception one as well.
